It appears Ionescu was able to find another pair of shoes ahead of the game. She may have even taken out her frustrations on the court as the Aces had a hard time guarding her. Ionescu scored 22 points in the game, a team high. 
According to ESPN, it was the 11th consecutive game in which she scored five or more 3-pointers, which is a WNBA record. 
The Aces still managed to win the game 88-75. 
With the loss, the Liberty fell to 24-7 for the season. The Liberty will try to rebound from the loss Friday night when they take on the Phoenix Mercury in a game that can be seen on ION. 
The Aces will play the Los Angeles Sparks on Saturday. Las Vegas is attempting to win back-to-back WNBA championships. The team remains the oddsmakers' favorite due to their 28-3 record.
