MINNEAPOLIS — Sabrina Ionescu hit a tiebreaking 3-pointer with 1 second left and Breanna Stewart scored 30 points to help the New York Liberty beat the Minnesota Lynx 80-77 on Wednesday night, taking a 2-1 lead in the WNBA Finals.

With the game tied at 77, Ionescu had the ball and dribbled around before pulling up a few steps behind the arc and hitting from 28 feet to break the tie. «I didn't really remember it.

I had to look at the video real quickly and see how far I was,» Ionescu said. «In the timeout Sandy (Brondello) was like, 'You're going to shoot the shot.' I feel like I was able to get a little separation in range.

Get a really good shot to go. I let the shot clock wind down and got the space.» The Liberty erased a 15-point deficit — marking the third-largest comeback in WNBA Finals history, with the largest coming in Game 1 — to move one victory from winning their first title.
