Liberty torch Sun in 48-point blowout, tie best start in team history

The Liberty opened Commissioner Cup play Sunday torching the Sun, 100-52, for the biggest win in franchise history. 

Ten days after setting the WNBA record for most 3s made in a game, the Liberty matched it again.

“One more 3” chants broke out with less than two minutes to go after the Liberty drained their record-tying 19 3-pointers earlier in the fourth.

But that final trey never came. 

The Liberty were led by Sabrina Ionescu’s four 3-pointers and 18 points. 

Ten of the 11 Liberty players who attempted a 3 made at least one from behind the arc and five players sank multiple as they finished a staggering 19-for-32 or 59.4 percent.

Also, Ionescu is now one 3 away from tying Crystal Robinson for most career 3s in franchise history. 

It’s one thing to beat a team mightily, which the Liberty have already done a few times this season. 

It’s another to totally crush a team’s spirit and leave them lifeless.

Sunday was a show of dominance that’s never been seen before.

New York ran Connecticut out of the gym in the first half and never let up.

The Liberty opened the game going 7-for-9 from deep and made 12 3s by halftime.

Their 32-point halftime lead was the franchise’s second largest lead entering the third quarter ever.

In the third quarter, the Liberty outscored the Sun 30-8. 

Sunday’s 48-point margin of victory was the largest in franchise history.

The Liberty’s previous biggest win was when they beat the Mystics by 43 points on Aug. 13, 1998. 

With the win, the Liberty’s 7-0 start ties the 1997 team for the best start to a season in franchise history.
