Sabrina Ionescu Amazes WNBA Fans with Unreal Performance in Liberty's Comeback Win vs. Sky
The New York Liberty secured a 95-94 victory over the Chicago Sky on Wednesday night, thanks to a late scoring surge from Sabrina Ionescu. With under a minute remaining, the Sky held an eight-point lead before Ionescu took control of the game. She scored nine consecutive points, effectively keeping the Liberty in contention as the clock ticked down.
Ionescu finished the night with 29 points. She was efficient throughout, shooting 8-of-11 from the field and 5-of-7 from three-point range. Her performance was critical, as the rest of the Liberty starting lineup struggled with offensive efficiency, combining for 17-of-46 shooting. Jonquel Jones secured the final result by hitting a go-ahead free throw with three seconds left on the clock.
Speaking after the game, Ionescu noted that the team understood the situation and knew they needed to take shots from behind the arc. She described the final stretch as feeling like an individual three-point shootout, facilitated by effective screens from her teammates. This win moves the Liberty to a 15-12 record as they push for a sixth consecutive playoff appearance.
Outside of the game action, Ionescu addressed recent reports regarding the 2026 WNBA 3-Point Contest. She clarified that she never received an official invitation to compete, labeling claims that she declined the offer as false. The four-time All-Star maintains that she is always ready to defend her record when given the opportunity.
