Las Vegas Aces defeat Connecticut Sun to win first WNBA championship
It’s the first title for the Davis family since 1984, when the then-Los Angeles Raiders won the Super Bowl.
Connecticut then missed two looks to tie it, Vegas called a timeout and with the shot clock winding down, Riquana Williams hit another huge shot. Her stepback gave the Aces a 75-71 lead with 53.2 seconds to play and all but sealed the win. Connecticut turned it over on the next possession, and a pull-up from Plum gave the Aces a 77-71 lead with 25.5 seconds to go. Jackie Young hit one of two free throws for the 78-71 edge and Connecticut ran out of time.
