The Las Vegas Aces were crowned WNBA champions for the third time in four years! The team demonstrated their dominance by defeating the Phoenix Mercury with a final score of 97-86 in an exciting match. The Aces completed a four-game sweep in the WNBA Finals, establishing their status as the league’s reigning dynasty. A’ja Wilson, the Aces superstar and four-time league MVP, led the way in Game 4, accumulating 31 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 blocks, earning her the Finals MVP award. Wilson averaged 28.5 points, 11.8 rebounds, and 2 blocks in the Finals.

She is alone on Everest. There is no one around.

Coach Becky Hammon, who played in the WNBA from 1999 to 2014, highlighted the evolution of the game and the skill of current players.

Previous dynasties laid the groundwork and showed how it should be won, and they really gave a lot to the WNBA in terms of history.

The Aces’ season wasn’t easy. After a difficult start and a losing streak, the team managed to secure second place in the playoffs and overcome challenging series before dominating the Finals.

This is different because it was different. There was probably much more adversity than any of us anticipated.

In Game 4, the Aces were never behind, leading by 16 points at halftime and 14 at the end of the third quarter.

Chelsea Gray and Jackie Young each contributed 18 points and combined for 12 assists. Jewell Loyd and Dana Evans scored 22 points off the bench. With Wilson and Young still at their best, the Aces have the potential to join the exclusive group of teams with four WNBA titles. However, the team’s future could depend on contract negotiations and free agency. While, the Aces can reflect on their achievement this season.

Good things happen to the right people.
