The Las Vegas Aces have made history, becoming the first team in 21 years to win back-to-back WNBA championships. On Wednesday night, the Aces defeated the New York Liberty 70-69 in Game 4 of the Finals, with 24 points and 16 rebounds from A’ja Wilson and a defensive stop in the closing seconds.
The Aces join the Los Angeles Sparks (2001-02) and the Houston Comets (1997-2000) as the only teams in league history to win consecutive titles. With the game tied at 64, Jackie Young scored four straight points to give the Aces the lead and the win.
The Aces were without two of their starters, Chelsea Gray and Kiah Stokes, who were both sidelined with foot injuries suffered in Game 3. Despite their absence, Gray, the 2022 WNBA Finals MVP, was constantly in the ear of her teammates during timeouts and shouting encouragement from the sideline.
The Aces’ back-to-back championship win is a testament to the team’s hard work and dedication. With their win, the Aces have cemented their place in WNBA history.
