NEW YORK — There was an emanating feeling of déjà vu in the final quarter of Tuesday’s decisive Game 3 between the Sky and the New York Liberty.
With her team trailing by 10, Sabrina Ionescu opened the final 10 minutes of play hitting an and-one. She missed her free-throw attempt but scrambled to get her own offensive rebound and followed it with a three. Just like that, the Sky’s lead was cut to five and then three after Betnijah Laney hit a nine-foot jump shot off the assist from Ionescu.
