I used to be watching Sabrina Ionescu hit the large shot. Hope you had been, too. Sabrina was Caitlin earlier than Caitlin.

Sabrina Ionescu is such a killer.

If the Lynx dedicated theft after stealing Sport 1, they did not lock their very own home’s doorways in Sport 3.

From the 8:34 mark within the first quarter till there was only one minute and 31 seconds remaining within the recreation, the Lynx held the lead in entrance of their house crowd. It appeared the workforce would go up 2-1 within the collection behind the efforts of Napheesa Collier (22 factors, 9 boards, 5 steals) and Kayla McBride (19 factors, 5-of-9 from three).

However the Liberty confirmed resilience, lastly taking the lead once more on a Jonquel Jones three, earlier than Ionescu—who had simply seven factors within the recreation earlier than scoring six within the remaining minute alone—dropped one in every of her personal to place the Liberty within the driver’s seat:

The Lynx would go on to tie it at 77 apiece with simply 16 seconds remaining, setting the stage for Ionescu’s dramatic, good and unforgettable end.

This collection has been exceptional, setting the stage for what needs to be an epic battle in Sport 4 (Friday at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN) because the Lynx look to maintain their season alive. If Stewart and Ionescu are cooking, although, there won’t be any stopping the Liberty.
