Sabrina Ionescu hit arguably the shot of her life to lift the New York Liberty past the Minnesota Lynx in Game 3 of the WNBA Finals on Wednesday.
Ionescu drained a 28-foot three-pointer with one second left to give the Liberty an 80-77 win and a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five series.
She was 2-of-7 from long distance before sinking the game-winner.
While it was Breanna Stewart who carried the Liberty for the majority of the game, including scoring 22 of the team’s 45 second-half points, it was Ionescu who was tasked to come up with the biggest play.
“I had to go look at the video really quickly to see like how far I was,” said Ionescu in a report from the Associated Press. “I feel like I was able to get a little separation in range and get a really good shot to go.”

The Liberty guard also revealed what coach Sandy Brondello told her before her gutsy shot.
“In the timeout, Sandy was like, ‘You’re going to shoot the shot,'” said Ionescu.
She followed the order to a tee.
The 26-year-old former Oregon standout finished with 13 points, five rebounds and six assists. Stewart had a double-double with 30 points and 11 rebounds on top of four blocks.
New York overcame a four-point deficit with just over two minutes remaining en route to stealing Game 3.
The Liberty have a chance to capture their first WNBA title in Game 4 on Friday at the Target Center in Minneapolis.
