After 22 second-half points from Breanna Stewart and two huge 3s in the final 56 seconds from Sabrina Ionescu, the Liberty came back from 15 points down to beat the Lynx 80-77 on Wednesday in Game 3 of the WNBA Finals at the Target Center .

New York now leads the best-of-five series 2-1. Game 4 is Friday in Minneapolis. If the Lynx force a Game 5, the series would move back to New York for the finale.

After the Lynx led for most of the game, New York took its first lead since 5-2 when Ionescu drove and made a nifty pass to Jonquel Jones, who scored an easy layup. Minnesota’s attempt missed at the other end and then Ionescu came up big again, draining a 3 with 55.6 seconds to play, pushing the lead to two possessions.

But she was just getting warmed up.

After Bridget Carleton muscled through the defense for a layup and Napheesa Collier hit two free throws, the score was 77-77 with 16 seconds to play. The Lynx were fouled, giving New York possession again with 10.9 seconds left. After the ball went in, Ionescu took a few dribbles at the top of the key, then pulled up and hit a deep 3 from about 30 feet out to win the game. Minnesota couldn’t get a shot off before the buzzer sounded on the other end.
