What the win means for Las Vegas
The Aces are one win away from returning to the WNBA Finals with a chance to secure their third title in four years. That would have sounded improbable earlier this season when the team stumbled to a 12-13 record. For Las Vegas to get the win Friday despite an off day from four-time MVP A’ja Wilson — she finished 6-for-20 and missed 12 straight shots after making her first field goal — bodes well for its chances of closing out the series.
