LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The Las Vegas Aces won against the New York Liberty in Game 2 Wednesday evening.
The WNBA Finals is the best out of five. If the Aces win Game 3 in New York, they are repeat champions.
The reigning champion Aces could become the first team to repeat since the Los Angeles Sparks did it 21 years ago.
The Associated Press says a championship also would further validate one of the top regular seasons in league history, putting them in record books along with those Sparks teams, the Houston Comets, who won four titles in a row, and the Detroit Shock, who won three times in six years.
