WNBA Sends Message on Superstar's 48-Point Win on Sunday
WNBA Sends Message on Superstar's 48-Point Win on Sunday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. On Sunday, the New York Liberty made history when they faced the Connecticut Sun and had a 100-52 victory. The Liberty, led by superstar Sabrina Ionescu, facilitated a 48-point deficit for the Sun to remain undefeated to start the 2025 WNBA season. New York is 7-0 this season and is one of only two teams that have gone undefeated so far. The other team is the Minnesota Lynx, with a 6-0 record. Advertisement The entire Liberty was on fire against the Sun. Ionescu led the team with her 18 points, five assists and two steals on 4-for-6 shooting from downtown. The three-time All-Star was the only player to score at least 15 points for the New York team. Connecticut Sun guard Saniya Rivers tries to get past New York Liberty guard Sabrina Jones-Imagn Images Because of Ionescu's performance against Connecticut, the league recognized her and posted a message for the star player. "Sabrina Ionescu was firing on all cylinders in the Liberty's 48-PT win over the Sun," the league posted. Ionescu helped the team with their first 19 points of the game with her scoring and passing. Following the contest, she explained that the team tends to focus on getting everyone involved. Advertisement "We didn't have any idea, because that's how we practice. There's no one-on-one, no hero ball, just understanding of searching for our best shot... It was fun out there, just getting everyone going and feeling good," the Liberty star said through Nekias Duncan. The Sun, however, couldn't capitalize on getting their first win of the season. Last week, Connecticut had an 85-83 victory against the Indiana Fever. The Fever didn't have their best player, Caitlin Clark, as she dealt with a quad injury. Marina Mabrey and her team will have time to prepare until they play the defending champions. Their next game against each other is on August 1.
