No. 1 NY Liberty superstar Sabrina Ionescu hits game-winning three, gives NY 2-1 Finals lead over No. 2 Minnesota Lynx

The GIST: The No. 1 NY Liberty are one win away from their first-ever championship following Wednesday's stunning comeback 80–77 Game 3 win over the No. 2 Minnesota Lynx. This Finals series has been downright unpredictable, but here’s what we do know ahead of tonight’s 8 p.m. ET Game 4 and a potential Game 5 on Sunday.

Liberty superstar Sabrina Ionescu inked her name in WNBA history: Much like the Lynx in Game 1, the Libs were down bad in Game 3, trailing by as many as 15 points — but that all changed in the fourth quarter.

• Breanna Stewart went on a tear, finishing with 30 points, 11 rebounds, and four blocks and would have undoubtedly been the game MVP…had Ionescu not made that shot.

• Guarded by Minnesota’s ultra-tough Kayla McBride, sharpshooter Ionescu had only made one three-pointer before the game’s final minute, where she sunk not one, but two crucial threes, including the incredible game-winner. Playing like she had something to prove.

But Napheesa Collier and the Lynx aren’t done yet: Game 3 was played in front of 19,521 rowdy fans, the largest-ever Lynx crowd — and they’ll be back out there for Game 4.

• Though league MVP runner-up Collier is facing her toughest matchup of the playoffs yet in Stewie, she was only one rebound shy of a double-double on Wednesday, and has already broken the legendary Diana Taurasi’s record for most points in a single postseason.

• TL;DR — Collier is on fire, and Minnesota had the edge until they ran out of gas in Game 3. This darn good team may not be super, but they should never be underestimated.
