NEW YORK — ’s hands slumped to her hips as a dogpile broke out at midcourt at Barclays Center. For a split-second, she lingered in front of the bench, taking in the on-court celebration that the Liberty had entered Wednesday night seeking to avoid. The Las Vegas Aces won the 2023 WNBA championship with a 70-69 Game 4 victory, becoming the first repeat champions since 2002.

They entered Game 4, with both Aces guard and center sidelined with foot injuries. An opportunity to even the series, and eventually win it, seemed within grasp. “It would have been nice to play a Game 5, and then lay it all out on the table,” Brondello said. But New York squandered its chance.
