There are few players in the WNBA who can swing a matchup at a moment’s notice.
New York Liberty point guard Sabrina Ionescu is one of those players capable of blowing the doors off of a game, as the Minnesota Lynx were reminded of tonight.
After a competitive first half that featured excellent Minnesota ball movement (before it was mired by a series of Lynx turnovers and foul trouble in the guard rotation), Ionescu wasted no time grabbing control of the game.
The former Oregon superstar and 2020 No. 1 pick scored 13 points in the third quarter alone on 5/5 shooting, including three back-breaking 3s that caused a Barclays Center eruption and firmly put the game out of reach mid-way through the frame.
