New York Liberty Leads WNBA Finals 2-1

The New York Liberty took a crucial 80-77 victory over the Minnesota Lynx in Game 3 of the WNBA Finals, putting them one win away from their first championship. Sabrina Ionescu delivered a game-winning three-pointer from well beyond the arc with just one second left, drawing praise from NBA superstar Stephen Curry, who remarked on her confident play. This clutch moment capped a comeback for the Liberty after they lost the opening game of the series, showcasing Ionescu's skill and resilience, despite previously being snubbed for the All-WNBA First Team. Breanna Stewart led the team in scoring with 30 points, while Ionescu finished with 13 points, five rebounds, and six assists, maintaining her strong playoff performance. The Liberty now have the opportunity to close out the series in Game 4, scheduled for Friday. Ionescu's shot may become one of the most memorable in WNBA Finals history, highlighting her potential as a rising star in women's basketball.
