Sabrina Ionescu offers three-word message after Liberty returns to WNBA finals

The New York Liberty booked their ticket to the WNBA Finals for the second straight year following Sunday’s 76-62 Game 4 win over the defending champion Las Vegas Aces.

Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu, who scored a team-high 22 points Sunday, felt relief and elation as she left the court. However, she knows there is still work to do to win her first WNBA title.

“It means everything,” Ionsecu said as he left the field. “Obviously we need to continue to progress and get some wins, but we’re going to enjoy the moment and obviously be very grateful for how we got this win.”

This is Ionescu’s fourth appearance in the WNBA playoffs, and she looks ready to finally hoist that championship trophy.

The Liberty will face the winner of the Minnesota Lynx – Connecticut Sun series in the WNBA Finals, which begins Thursday, October 10.
