The New York Liberty took a 2-1 lead over the Minnesota Lynx in the 2024 WNBA Finals behind a go-ahead 3-pointer by Sabrina Ionescu on Wednesday.

With the game tied at 77, the Liberty guard swished a 28-foot step-back jumper to give New York the lead with 1 second remaining.

Minnesota failed to score on its ensuing possession, losing its second straight game of the series, 80-77. The basket from Ionescu was preceded by a 15-point comeback by New York, matching the third largest in WNBA Finals history.

Ionescu finished with 13 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds in the win. Breanna Stewart led the Liberty with 30 points and 11 rebounds — she became the first player in WNBA history with multiple Finals games with 30 points and 10 rebounds.
