“The craze continues to grow in New York” around the Liberty, as Breanna Stewart told us on Thursday, and this new accomplishment from a New York player will only reinforce this hype.
After seeing the same Breanna Stewart seize the record for points scored in a season, it is the turn of Sabrina Ionescu to set a WNBA record.
This concerns the number of 3-point shots made over a season. An exercise specialist, after winning the 3-point contest of the last All-Star Game hands down, with a record and the congratulations of Stephen Curry as a bonus, the shooter sealed a new bar by dethroning Diana Taurasi, whose record stood at 121 successful attempts over a season, even if we recall that the move to 40 games this season (compared to 34 then 36 in previous seasons) logically favors new records in the WNBA…
It was in the third quarter of the night’s match won against the Los Angeles Sparks that Sabrina Ionescu in any case equaled Diana Taurasi’s record before claiming the new record alone a few moments later, from the corner. The icing on the cake of this beautiful evening, in addition to the victory 96-89, the New York Liberty generally remained in the theme of the evening with a superb 17/34 from afar. Behind Sabrina Ionescu, at 4/10, it was Stefanie Dolson who caused a sensation with her 5/5 behind the arc!
