Overcoming a 15-point deficit—the third-largest in WNBA Finals history—the Liberty were propelled by Breanna Stewart's stellar performance, as she recorded 30 points, 11 rebounds, and 4 blocks. With one second remaining, Sabrina Ionescu hit a game-winning three-pointer from the logo, sealing the victory. Ionescu finished with 13 points, 6 assists, and 5 rebounds. "I'm built for this moment," she said after the game. The win gives the Liberty a 2-1 lead in the series, bringing them one win away from their first WNBA Championship.
