In a display of power, the team defeated the Phoenix Mercury with a final score of 97-86, solidifying their status as the reigning dynasty in the league.\n\nThe final, which was decided in four games, marked the first best-of-seven series in WNBA history. Aces star A&#8217;ja Wilson was the key figure in Game 4, culminating with 31 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 blocks, earning her the Finals MVP award. Wilson averaged an impressive 28.5 points, 11.8 rebounds, and 2 blocks throughout the series.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>She is unique, she is alone on Everest. There is no one around.<\/p><cite>Becky Hammon, Aces coach, on A&#8217;ja Wilson<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nCoach Becky Hammon, who played in the WNBA from 1999 to 2014, highlighted that the Aces are already one of the biggest franchises in the league. Hammon emphasized the evolution of the game, highlighting the increase in size, strength, speed, and skill of current players.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>The skill level of these players, for me, is not comparable. It&#8217;s a natural evolution. That&#8217;s the sign of any great league; it doesn&#8217;t stay the same.<\/p><cite>Becky Hammon, Aces coach<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nThe Aces&#8217; season was full of challenges. After a difficult start, with a 53-point loss, the team achieved a 16-game winning streak that secured them the second place in the playoffs. Despite overcoming complicated series, their dominance in the Finals demonstrated their quality.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>I love being their coach. I love being their friend. Sometimes I push them until they don&#8217;t like it a little, but I&#8217;m invested in their greatness.<\/p><cite>Becky Hammon, Aces coach<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nChelsea Gray and Jackie Young, with 18 points each and 12 combined assists, played a crucial role. Jewell Loyd and Dana Evans contributed 22 points off the bench.\n\nThe Aces&#8217; triumph not only represents a sporting achievement, but also the overcoming of adversities and the consolidation of a team that has known how to stay united and trust in its process.\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F1011%2Fr1558630_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"Aces\" title=\"\"><figcaption>Las Aces celebran su campeonato despu\u00e9s de una temporada llena de desaf\u00edos.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\nThe Aces have demonstrated their resilience and determination to reach the top. With Wilson and Young, both former number 1 draft picks, still at their peak, the team has the potential to continue reaping success in the coming years.\n\nHowever, the future of the league and the Aces is marked by collective bargaining agreement (CBA) negotiations and the movement of players in free agency. Negotiations between the league and the players&#8217; union will be crucial in defining the course of the WNBA.\n\nDuring the awards ceremony, WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert was booed by fans, who expressed their discontent with the league&#8217;s off-court issues.\n\nThe Aces&#8217; success is based on teamwork, mutual trust, and perseverance. In the words of A&#8217;ja Wilson, &#8220;Good things happen to the right people.&#8221;","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Las Vegas Aces are crowned WNBA champions for the third time in four years!
