Coming back to Sabrina Ionescu, the 2020 first-overall pick spoke about how she wasn’t happy about missing two shots but credited her work on her shooting which helped pull this feat. She said, “I shouldn't have missed two,” Ionescu said.
“I mean, there's adrenaline. It was the final round. I had just lost in the skills, I wasn't going to lose again. So thankful to have only missed two, I guess. I've put in a lot of work to be able to shoot like I have been from the three-point line. So this one's pretty rewarding.”
