Ionescu showing off generational talent
Posts second triple-double of season as Liberty beat Aces
Hailed as a generational talent and transformational player, New York Liberty point guard Sabrina Ionescu is living up to the hype that followed her to Downtown Brooklyn three seasons ago.
The All-Star point guard and reigning Eastern Conference Player of the Month had 31 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists Wednesday night in Las Vegas, posting her second triple-double of the season and third of her career to lift the Liberty over the Aces, 116-107, at Michelob ULTRA Arena.
The 8,405 fans on hand in Sin City that came to see Western Conference-leading Vegas (15-7) hand New York (9-12) its third consecutive defeat, instead watched Ionescu light up the scoreboard.
