A'ja Wilson had a tying layup while the Aces scored the game's final 11 points to beat the Wings 64-61 on Friday night and complete a three-game semifinal sweep.
A'ja Wilson and the defending WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces are headed back to the finals for the third time in four seasons after a scrappy performance.
Alysha Clark made a tiebreaking free throw with 1:45 left. Jackie Young added two more free throws with 2 seconds remaining - after the Wings had missed two potential go-ahead shots. "Tried to get open and get a 3, and obviously it didn't go in. But that was a tough one, it shouldn't have come down to that, though," said Ogunbowale, who was then asked why. "I don't think we made a shot in the last five minutes."
Ogunbowale missed a 16-footer after a timeout and Wilson had the rebound before getting tied up for a jump ball in the free-throw circle near the Dallas basket. Teaira McCowan won the jump against Wilson and Dallas called another timeout with 9 seconds left. Natasha Howard missed a 3-pointer and Young was fouled by Ogunbowale when grabbing the rebound.Howard added 14 points for the Wings, while McCowan had 10 points and 15 rebounds.
