Sabrina Ionescu had a little extra motivation to win Game 3 for the New York Liberty — an All-WNBA First Team snub.
Game 3 of the WNBA Finals was one of the wildest things I’ve watched. It was 100 percent like Game 1, but in reverse. Everything was going the Lynx’s way early, but a stellar 30-point performance from Breanna Stewart, Minnesota’s foul trouble and an injury to Alanna Smith changed things.
New York climbed back in, snatching victory from the jaws of defeat and punctuating it with a FILTHY Sabrina Ionescu logo 3-pointer. WHEW. But it seems Sabrina might have felt some sort of way about not making the All-WNBA First team and used it as motivation. Postgame, she clapped back at the snub with a petty but delightful quip, saying, “That was just a great All-WNBA Second Team performance.” MIC DROP.
