They entered Sunday having lost just two games this year, the clear favorite for the WNBA title.A national TV audience, a nearly-sold-out Barclays Center crowd and a date with a historically dominant Las Vegas team didn’t phase the Liberty, who blew out the Aces in a 99-61, statement victory behind Ionescu’s 31 points and scorching 17-for-38 3-point shooting as a team.
After earning a five-point halftime lead, an electric third quarter when the Liberty outscored the Aces 30-9 and launched a barrage of five 3-pointers put the game firmly out of reach. They led by as much as 42 during the fourth quarter, during which the Aces scored just eight points.Michelle Farsi for N.Y. Post
