Excitement filled the air during Game 3 in Minnesota as the crowd roared for the Lynx. They quickly took a commanding lead, going up by as much as 15 points in the first half. But the Liberty fought back, steadily closing the gap until they were only down by a single point heading into the final quarter.
As the game progressed, both teams exchanged leads, keeping the outcome uncertain. With less than 10 seconds remaining in regulation and the Liberty in possession, Sabrina Ionescu made a game-changing move. Dribbling near half court, she deceived her defender with a fake-out before sinking a remarkable stepback three-pointer from just inside the logo, leaving the Target Center crowd in stunned silence.
Unfortunately for Minnesota, they were unable to respond with a good shot of their own. The Liberty emerged victorious in Game 3, shifting the series momentum heavily in their favor.
