If Minnesota Lynx stole Game 1 from the New York Liberty, it appears that NY Liberty did the same to the Lynx by stealing Game 3 of the WNBA Finals behind Sabrina Ionescu’s step-back 3 dagger. Liberty came back down-15 in the first qtr and crawl their way back for more than three qtr.
A shot that will live in history.

Jonquel Jones and Leonie Fiebich added 13 points a piece.

Before the game, WNBA named Sabrina Ionescu as part of the All-WNBA second team.
