Sabrina Ionescu Had No Words for Historic Liberty News

The New York Liberty just showed the entire basketball world why they are the defending WNBA champs and considered one of the favorites to win it all again this season. 

Sabrina Ionescu and Co. came up with another statement win on Sunday by blowing out the Connecticut Sun, 100-52. It was the biggest win in franchise history for the Liberty, who improved to 7-0 to start the season. 

The team announced shortly after the final buzzer that they have now tied the best start in franchise history, dating back to the WNBA's inaugural season in 1997. 

Ionescu caught wind of the Liberty's announcement post and decided to share the historic milestone via her Instagram Stories. 

The new record spoke for itself and did not require any caption from Ionescu, who helped lead her team to victory on Sunday with a game-high 18 points on 6-of-9 shooting, two rebounds, five assists, two steals, a block and four triples in just 19 minutes of play.    

The Liberty now have an opportunity to make even more history in their next game. A victory on Thursday against the Washington Mystics will improve New York to 8-0, which will set a new record for the best start to a season in franchise history.
