In this story:

The New York Liberty and Minnesota Lynx are amid a very competitive WNBA Finals series. New York finished the regular season 32-8, which was the WNBA’s best record. Minnesota was not far behind with a 30-10 mark.

These two teams entered Game 3 of this series tied 1-1. Breanna Stewart led all scorers with 30 points, but Sabrina Ionescu’s game-winning three-pointer with one second remaining is the game’s biggest story.

Ionescu averaged 18.2 points in 38 games for New York this season, and put the Liberty one win away from a WNBA title with this shot.

Ionescu competed against Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry in a special three-point contest during last season’s All-Star Weekend.

The Liberty guard revealed on Thursday that she received a voice message from Curry after her big shot.

Fans loved this, and have been reacting on X.

Via @aysiacchanell: "i love the bond sabrina and steph have"

Via @Franvillie: "Steph is out here being inspirational."

Extremely excited for Ionescu, Curry shared a voice memo for the WNBA star after she hit perhaps the biggest shot in her team's history.
