The top-seeded Liberty will have home-court advantage in the championship series and will face either the Connecticut Sun or Minnesota Lynx.
New York Liberty forward Breanna Stewart grabs a rebound over Las Vegas Aces center A'ja Wilson and guard Kelsey Plum during the first half of a WNBA Semifinal basketball game, Sunday, Oct. 6, 2024, in Las Vegas.
This is the Liberty’s sixth trip to the finals, but the franchise is still seeking its first title. The Aces, whose record 12-game home playoff winning streak ended, were hoping to make more WNBA history. They became the first team since the Los Angeles Sparks in 2001-02 to win back-to-back titles and were trying to become the first club to capture three successive championships since the Houston Comets took four straight in 1997-2000.
For Las Vegas, A’ja Wilson had 19 points, 10 rebounds and five blocked shots, Kelsey Plum scored 17 points and Tiffany Hayes had 11 points.
