Liberty’s Sabrina Ionescu surprised herself with 3-pointer from logo

Sabrina Ionescu’s long-range 3-pointers are becoming a bit of a habit — though sometimes, she surprises even herself with her daring shots.

Take, for example, her 3-pointer from near the New York Liberty’s midcourt logo during Tuesday’s 88-69 win against the Minnesota Lynx.

“Like, why did I shoot that?” Ionescu said when asked what she was thinking about after that shot. “Sometimes I just wonder.

“Like, it does not look that far to me when I shoot it. And then after, everyone’s like, ‘Wow, you just shot from the logo,’ and I’m like, ‘I guess I really did.’”

The third-year guard went 4-of-4 from 3-point range and 10-of-11 from the field Tuesday. She finished with a game-high 26 points. For the season, she is shooting 37.8 percent from beyond the arc.

Her willingness to shoot from deep has stood out. Check out just a few more examples from the season so far, starting with this one from June 3 against the Washington Mystics.
