The New York Liberty walked into Game 3 of their WNBA semifinal series down a brutal 2-0 against the Atlanta Dream, but they had a surprise fan on their side: none other than singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo. Rodrigo, a three-time Grammy Award winner, was right there in the stands at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on Friday night, watching her team fight to stay alive.
During a second-quarter timeout, the jumbotron above the court flashed to Rodrigo, who was proudly holding up a Liberty jersey with her name and “No. 10” on the back. The crowd went absolutely wild, and Rodrigo greeted the thousands of fans who cheered her on in return. Talk about bringing some star power when your team needs it most!
This semifinal series has been a tough one for the No. 8 seed Liberty. They’re battling against the No. 4 seed Dream in a best-of-five, and Atlanta has already taken the first two games. The Dream kicked things off with a 92-82 win in Game 1, then followed it up with a nail-biting 101-98 overtime victory in Game 2. Getting down 2-0 in a series is always brutal, especially in the playoffs, and the Liberty definitely needed all the good vibes they could get for Game 3.
With the series hanging by a thread, Game 3 was an absolute must-win for the Liberty to avoid elimination. Every possession, every basket was going to matter if they wanted to keep their season alive.
