Las Vegas Aces Take Game 3 To Move One Win Away From WNBA Championship

Las Vegas Aces Push to the Brink of a Championship

The Las Vegas Aces are now just one win away from securing another WNBA title after taking down the Phoenix Mercury 90–88 in Game 3 of the Finals on Wednesday night in Phoenix. Vegas showed championship composure from start to finish, weathering every Mercury run and closing strong behind their MVP.

A’ja Wilson once again led the charge with 34 points and 14 rebounds, continuing her Finals MVP-caliber stretch. Jackie Young had a strong 21 points, while Jewell Loyd and Chelsea Gray added 16 and 11 respectively in another efficient outing.

For the Mercury, Dewanna Bonner and Satou Sabally combined for 49 points, but their supporting cast couldn’t keep pace. Despite home-court energy, Phoenix never found consistent offensive rhythm against Las Vegas’ relentless defensive pressure. The Aces’ balance, experience, and poise have them on the verge of the title, now leading the series 3–0.

Game 4 Preview: Aces Eye the Sweep

The WNBA Finals continue Friday night in Phoenix, and the Mercury are officially in must-win mode. Down 0–3, they’ll have to dig deep to extend the series and avoid elimination in front of their home fans. Expect Phoenix to lean heavily on Thomas, Sabally, and Cooper while looking for sparks from their bench to stay alive.

For the Aces, the message from head coach Becky Hammon is simple — finish. Las Vegas knows what’s at stake and won’t want to give Phoenix any life before heading back home. If they can maintain their defensive intensity and keep their offensive flow intact, Friday night could end with confetti and another championship celebration.
