The New York Liberty is just one game away from claiming the 2024 title. The reason is Sabrina Ionescu. With the score tied at 77, Ionescu made the game-winning shot, a spectacular three that ended the game with 77-80. The Lynx are down 1-2 after Ionescu’s heroics and everyone took notice. Stephen Curry and Jrue Holiday were among them. But some retired pros were overwhelmed by the spectacle tonight.
The WNBA captured that glorious moment Ionescu made that shot with a righteous, “Hang it in a museum.” Stephen Curry took notice and he not only agreed, he prematurely declared the winners with, “Call game them.”
Among the many fans who agreed with Curry’s declaration was NBA veteran, Rex Chapman who tweeted a heart to show he loved it.
Jrue Holiday also added an emphatic excited emoji when he shared the clip of that moment when the clock had a second left. Ionescu had the ball a significant distance from the three-point line. She took it anyway and made a bucket.

Ionescu was named in the All-WNBA Second Team ahead of the game. She took the snub from the first team very personally, firing shots at the WNBA. She had a bone to pick and she did it with style.
This is a developing story.
