Sabrina Ionescu Leads Liberty Comeback Win Over Dream

Sabrina Ionescu led the New York Liberty to a comeback victory over the Atlanta Dream, scoring a season-high 34 points for the second consecutive game, marking the first time in her career with back-to-back 30-point performances. The Liberty overcame a 17-point deficit in the third quarter, rallying to an 86-81 win at Barclays Center, improving their record to 10-1 on the season. Breanna Stewart supported the effort with 23 points, including crucial go-ahead layups in the fourth quarter, while Jonquel Jones returned from injury to contribute a double-double of 10 points and 10 rebounds. The win concluded the Commissioner’s Cup round, although the Liberty will not advance to the final due to tiebreakers favoring Indiana Fever. Coach Sandy Brondello praised the team’s character and resilience in responding to their first loss with a strong, aggressive performance down the stretch. The Liberty now prepare to host the Phoenix Mercury before a lengthy road trip, carrying momentum from their hard-fought victory.
