Sabrina Ionescu looked on quietly from the bench, bundled in her warmup jacket, right beside teammates Jonquel Jones and Breanna Stewart. It was Wednesday night, and Game 2 of the WNBA playoffs had turned into a heartbreaking watch for the New York Liberty. The team had fought hard through the first three quarters, but the Phoenix Mercury pulled away in a stunning rout, forcing the Liberty to sit out the final period as their fans watched in dismay.
The Mercury dominated with an 86-60 victory—the Liberty’s worst loss of the entire season and their second-biggest playoff defeat ever in franchise history. This blowout win for Phoenix evens the first-round series at 1-1 and sends everything back to Arizona for a high-stakes Game 3 on Friday. Now, the reigning WNBA champions, the Liberty, face do-or-die pressure to keep their playoff dreams alive.
For fans of Sabrina Ionescu and the Liberty, it’s a tough spot, but these comeback stories often make the best basketball tales. Will New York bounce back in Phoenix? Stay tuned for more WNBA playoffs updates.
