The New York Liberty completed a season sweep of the Dallas Wings on Thursday night in Arlington.
Paced by a brilliant first quarter for Sabrina Ionescu, the Liberty completed a season sweep of the Dallas Wings with a 99-67 victory in Arlington. Between 16 points of her own and dishing off assists to Betnijah Laney-Hamilton and Courtney Vandersloot, Ionescu played a direct role in 21 of the Liberty's 25 scoring entries in the opening period.
The Liberty avoided any semblance of a trap game thanks to Ionescu's early outburst: they led by 10 at the end of the first period and, save for a couple of brief couple of cutdowns to eight at the onset of the second, they kept the double-figure advantage throughout the evening, making it permanent when Vandersloot successfully converted an and-one opportunity at 7:22.
The only other Dallas threat came in the third quarter, when a series of quick tallies in transition cut the lead to 14 early in the third. A quick timeout from head coach Sandy Brondello, however, quickly restored seafoam sanity, One 17-9 run later more or less broke Dallas' will and allowed the Liberty to empty its bench and expand its largest leads of the evening.
