Los Angeles Sparks forward Nneka Ogwumike hits a 3-pointer at the buzzer to give the Sparks a 98-97 win over the New York Liberty on Sunday night. Multiple outlets report the game is tied to the league’s anniversary, marking the same teams’ matchup that opened the WNBA’s history in 1997, when the Liberty won. The Sparks are down 17 points in the third quarter, but they rally to take control late. Ogwumike finishes with 24 points, including the game-winning shot from the wing just before time expires. On the final possession, Erica Wheeler drives and passes the ball out to Ogwumike, who then sinks the shot for the one-point victory. The reporting across outlets also emphasizes the timing and significance of the buzzer-beater as the difference in a closely contested game decided at the end. No other sources included additional scoring details beyond Ogwumike’s total and the final score.
