Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu Show What the Liberty Are Made of in Game 3 Comeback

With Ionescu’s three-point dagger in the final seconds of Game 3, the Liberty are now one win away from their first title. | Matt Krohn-Imagn Images

Breanna Stewart at her best is a force of nature, a tornado on one end of the court and a blizzard on the other, and Wednesday night, Stewart hit the Minnesota Lynx from every possible direction. She scored, she protected the rim, she seemed to guard an entire team by herself. Stewart looked like she might win Game 3 for the New York Liberty by herself, and maybe she would have, but why do that when you have Sabrina Ionescu to finish it off for you?

All Ionescu did in the final minute was hit a three-pointer to give the Liberty a four-point lead, and then drop a tiebreaking, Finals-changing, cold-blooded all-time highlight of a three-point dagger on the Lynx with 2.1 seconds left.
