AFTER THE GAME
The Aces defeated the Mercury 89-86 during Game 1 of the Finals series at home.
But tonight’s game wasn’t the only win they secured — they also won Mayor Shelley Berkley’s friendly bet on Twitter with Phoenix’s Mayor Kate Gallego, earning the Aces some representation at Phoenix’s next council meeting.
Everyone in @CityOfLasVegas is beyond excited and ready for a great finals matchup! You are on for the friendly wager @MayorGallego! I think you will look spectacular in @LVAces gear at a future council meeting!
