In Game 3 of the WNBA finals, Sabrina Ionescu drained a logo shot for the Liberty to beat the Lynx.

In the last seconds of Game 3 of the WNBA Finals, Sabrina Ionescu made a game-winning three-pointer to shock the Minnesota Lynx.

With one second left, Ionescu raised up from just inside the center-court logo, 28 feet from the hoop, with a hand in her face, tying the score at 77 to give New York the lead.

Liberty beat Lynx

The largest-ever Lynx audience of 19,521 watched in disbelief as the Liberty defeated Minnesota 80–77 at Target Center in Minnesota.

In Game 4, which takes place on Friday night, New York, who has won two straight after overturning a 15-point hole, will have their first opportunity to capture the WNBA title.

Multiple 15-point comebacks have occurred in a WNBA Finals series for the first time; Minnesota overcame an 18-point deficit to win Game 1 in overtime before New York won Game 2.

A 15-point rally was spearheaded by Breanna Stewart, star player for Liberty, but Ionescu sank the game-winning basket.

Stewart's Liberty hasn't yet had a standout game this series, and she doesn't currently hold a WNBA title.

Stewart contributed 30 points and 11 rebounds to the Liberty comeback.

With 22 points and nine rebounds, Collier led the Lynx; Kayla McBride, chipped in with 19 points while Courtney Williams finished with 12 points and 8 assists and Carleton scored 14.

Ionescu, Jones, and Leonie Fiebich each scored 13 points to help New York win the game as they and need one more to win the series.
