Aces
Las Vegas Aces news, scores, highlights and game reports for the back-to-back WNBA champs, led by A'ja Wilson, Chelsea Gray and Kelsey Plum.
Teams try a lot of in-arena gimmicks that don’t work. But the Aces broke one out Saturday that’s tried and true — the baby race. Even LeBron James enjoyed it.
In two matchups against the New York Liberty without do-it-all-forward Candace Parker, the Aces have been outscored by 57 points and outrebounded 97-52.
Only players from the Aces received comparable introductory ovations to Brittney Griner at the WNBA All-Star Game on Saturday at Michelob Ultra Arena.
The Aces won the first two games of the WNBA Finals because they defended with effort and urgency. They lost the third one Thursday because they elected not to do either.
