Sabrina Ionescu's 3-point crowd silencer against Belgium had her USA basketball teammates in awe

For The Win (usatoday.com) 

Sabrina Ionescu casually tossing up a dagger 3-point shot as time expired was so on-brand.

In case you missed it, Team USA women’s basketball has looked pretty good in its opening slate of pool play games, including during a slugfest Thursday with Belgium. Breanna Stewart and A’ja Wilson seemingly steamrolled nearly everyone on the court as the U.S. kept the gas pedal to the floor to secure a huge win.

Late in the fourth quarter, the U.S. tried to run the clock out while Belgium attempted to close the gap a bit. However, the team was informed it had to shoot the ball. So, Sabrina casually heaved a 3-point shot and BANG. NOTHING BUT NYLON. SWISH. (You get it.) Ionescu immediately put up the “hush” sign, producing a glorious Olympic moment and one COLD photo.

As you might guess, her teammates loved every bit of the shot. The different angles of them realizing what she did are fantastic.
