“I didn’t even really remember it. I had to go look at the video to see how far I was. But in the timeout, Sandy was just like, ‘You’re gonna shoot this shot.’ I was able to get some separation in range, and I let the shot go”, Ionescu told reporters after the game.
Ionescu finished the game with 13 points and six assists in a contest to help Liberty make a comeback from a 15-point deficit.
The Liberty will have a chance to win their first WNBA title when they play the Lynx in Game 4 on October 18.
