Las Vegas Aces Punch Their Ticket To The Finals

Las Vegas Aces Close the Door on Indiana

The Las Vegas Aces showed why they’re the perennial power house they are by sealing the deal at home with an overtime win in Game 5 to take the semifinal series 3–2 over the Indiana Fever. In a packed house with all the pressure on, A’ja Wilson rose to the moment again, dropping 35 points and pulling down 8 boards. Jackie Young also added her own firepower with 32 points to ensure the win, while the Aces’ defense clamped down late to keep the Fever from sparking another rally. After a back-and-forth series filled with swings of momentum, Las Vegas made sure Game 5 was one of their top performances. The win marks their third trip to the WNBA Finals in the last four seasons, proving their championship pedigree is alive and well.

Finals Showdown: Aces vs. Mercury

Now the stage is set—the Aces take on the Phoenix Mercury in the WNBA Finals. These two franchises know each other well, in fact during the regular season Vegas was able to win 3 of the 4 matchups, and now the rivalry writes another chapter starting Friday in Vegas. For the Aces, the key will be continuing to feed Wilson early, while Gray and Young create matchup nightmares on the perimeter. Phoenix brings veteran star Alyssa Thomas who leads the Mercury in points, rebounds, and assists during this year's postseason. The Finals promise fireworks—elite talent, intense defense, and no shortage of big moments.

For Vegas, the mission is simple: defend homecourt in the best of seven game series and bring another championship back to the desert.
