Sabrina Ionescu found her shooting touch in overtime, scoring 12 crucial points to lead the New York Liberty to a dramatic 99-98 victory over the Dallas Wings. The win ended the Liberty's four-game losing streak.
Ionescu had a challenging regulation, making only 3 of 20 field goal attempts for nine points. However, she remained confident in her abilities, and her scoring surge in the extra period proved decisive. She shot a perfect 5-for-5 from the field in overtime.
The Liberty trailed by as many as 12 points in the third quarter but mounted a comeback to keep the game close. The contest was sent into overtime when Arike Ogunbowale hit a tying shot with 3.9 seconds remaining.
Breanna Stewart was a key contributor throughout the game, particularly in the fourth quarter, finishing with 33 points, 13 rebounds, and eight assists. The victory was particularly significant as it came after the teams' previous matchup was postponed due to travel issues for the Liberty leaving New York.
