Angel Reese Has 1-Word Reaction to Sabrina Ionescu’s Game Winner
Sabrina Ionescu hit the biggest shot of her career on Wednesday night, knocking down a three-pointer to win Game 3 of the WNBA Finals over the Minnesota Lynx.
Angel Reese, budding WNBA star, responded to her viral shot with just one word.
"Sheeshhhhhhhh," she tweeted on Oct. 16 . And she's not the only athlete to take to X (formerly known as Twitter) to acknowledge Ionescu's game-winner.
Multiple time NBA champion Kevin Durant chimed in, writing "Cold blooded killer," in a tweet of his own . Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic added " What a shot. " Ionescu's WNBA colleague and Chicago Sky guard Kahleah Copper simply wrote "SAB."
Ionescu's told reporters after the win that the game-winner is all a blur. "I didn't even really remember it - I had to go look at the video to see how far I was," Ionescu told reporters postgame on Oct. 16 . "But in the timeout, Sandy was just like, 'You're gonna shoot this shot.' I was able to get some separation in range, and I let the shot go."
Ionescu is the WNBA's best three-point shooter. And she won't let anyone forget it. New York is up 2-1 over Minnesota in the WNBA Finals, thanks to the former first overall pick. They'll stay out West for Game 4, scheduled for Friday, Oct. 18.
