Sabrina Ionescu capped an impressive come-from-behind victory by the New York Liberty in Game 3 of the WNBA Finals against the Minnesota Lynx with a game-winning logo 3. Fellow basketball stars no sooner channeled love to her for the gutsy play she dished out.

The three-time WNBA All-Star guard once again rose in the clutch by draining a tie-breaking triple with 2.1 seconds to go to give the Liberty an 80-77 lead. It proved to be the marginal basket that thrust New York to a win away from winning its first-ever WNBA title.

NBA players immediately heaped praise on Sabrina Ionescu, among them Phoenix Suns superstar Kevin Durant, who referred to the Liberty sniper as:

"Cold blooded killer @sabrina_i20"

Two-time NBA All-Star Isaiah Thomas also had a similar reaction, writing:

"OMG!!!!!!! That was cold blooded.'"

Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks, meanwhile, was floored by the bucket, saying:

"What a shot."

Former All-Star guard Victor Oladipo, for his part, was hands down impressed. writing:

"Wow Sabrina sheesh.'"

Basketball Hall-of-Famer and two NBA champion Isiah Thomas. meanwhile, had a one-word reaction, saying:

"Game!!"

Sabrina Ionescu and the Liberty have the opportunity to close the WNBA Finals out on Friday in Minnesota.
