Slow-Mo Video of Rickea Jackson's Game-Winner in Sparks-Liberty Is a Must-See
Slow-Mo Video of Rickea Jackson's Game-Winner in Sparks-Liberty Is a Must-See originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Rickea Jackson stepped up big time on Friday to help the Los Angeles Sparks prevent a monumental collapse and complete the upset against the reigning WNBA champions, New York Liberty. The Sparks led by as many as 15 points after ending the first quarter up 35-20. However, with 23 seconds left on the clock, the Liberty tied things up at 99-all after Sabrina Ionescu hit a tough mid-range jumper. Jackson, who scored 17 points in the first quarter to get the Sparks rolling, wouldn't let her efforts go in vain. As time was running out, she asked for the ball from near the basket and powered her way to the rim. Liberty forward Stephanie Talbot tried her best to make the shot hard for Jackson without fouling her. However, the Sparks rising star made the difficult layup to give the Sparks the 101-99 victory at the buzzer. The WNBA, for its part, shared a slow-motion video of the play, further hyping up L.A. fans and several viewers. "That was a great game! I see you Sparks," a commenter wrote. Another one said, "She has best player in the league potential." "Tough finish," a fan added. "Helluva finish to a crazy game," an X user remarked. A hyped supporter stated, "Been BALLIN!!" "She ready!!!" a sixth follower exclaimed. Rickea Jackson finished with 24 points in the contest, with her game-winner being her only basket in the fourth quarter. Obviously, though, it's the most important one. The Sparks improved to 11-14 on the season with the win against the Liberty, putting them at No. 10 in the standings. They remain in contention for the playoffs, as they are just one game behind the Las Vegas Aces for the No. 8 story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 27, 2025, where it first appeared.

Liberty suffer inexcusable loss to WNBA-worst Sun for fourth straight defeat
We've got you covered on the Liberty beat Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Madeline Kenney about all things Liberty and WNBA. tRY IT NOW UNCASVILLE, Conn. – The Liberty gave up. Or at least that's what appeared to be the case late Friday as New York fell 78-62 to the last-place Sun. It was another abysmal, sloppy effort by New York, who vowed to play better after a lengthy postgame meeting in Dallas Monday. Nevermind the fact the Liberty are down three key players. That should be no excuse for what unfolded Friday night at Mohegan Sun Arena. Comparing each roster, New York should outmatch the rebuilding Connecticut at each position. 4 Sabrina Ionescu of the New York Liberty looks on during the game against the Connecticut Sun. NBAE via Getty Images Instead of dominating, though, the defending champions got embarrassed for the second time in five days and suffered their fourth straight loss. The Liberty had slippery fingers, errant passes and too many steps, resulting in a season-high 23 turnovers. They were outrebounded 42-29, too. Sabrina Ionescu scored 23 points and had five assists and seven rebounds, but it didn't matter. The Liberty can be frustrated by the officiating and the bout of injuries. 4 Connecticut Sun guard Saniya Rivers (22) and New York Liberty guard Natasha Cloud (9) work for the ball in the first half at Mohegan Sun Arena. David Butler II-Imagn Images But what they really should be mad at is by laying an egg against the lowest-ranked team in the league. What happened to the team who put up a valiant effort against Minnesota on Wednesday? Wasn't the standard of the way 'Liberty Biberty Basketball' should be played established that day? Friday was only the Sun's fifth win this season. The Liberty collectively are reeling, and if they can't right the ship quickly, then they could be in trouble. 4 New York Liberty forward Kennedy Burke (22) reacts after being called for a foul against the Connecticut Sun in the first half at Mohegan Sun Arena.

David Butler II-Imagn Images Friday was not the way the Liberty hoped to respond after a promising showing against the Lynx. And New York's schedule is brutal this month, with the Liberty scheduled to play 14 games, including eight on the road. New York is set to wrap up this road trip Sunday with a rematch of Connecticut.
