Las Vegas won its second consecutive WNBA title Wednesday night, capping an eventful year of soaring heights and a few lows.
NEW YORK — Mark Davis stepped away from the party for a moment as Wednesday night turned to Thursday morning. The pause didn’t last long before Chelsea Gray’s mother arrived to drag him back to the festivities. Moments earlier, Coach Becky Hammon was doing the Tootsie Roll dance, and Kelsey Plum skipped back and forth with a barrel speaker on her shoulder, with gold bottles of Armand De Brignac champagne all around.
Davis bought the team before the 2021 season as it was coming off a Finals appearance in the coronavirus-affected bubble season the year before. At that point, the organization was just three years removed from three consecutive single-digit-victory seasons as the San Antonio Stars. Now it has won two titles and reached the Finals in three of four seasons.“I’ve been around sports all my life. I know how hard it is to win a championship,” said Davis, who also owns the NFL’s Las Vegas Raiders.
Statements were everywhere as the team celebrated after the game. Goggles were etched with “What’s won in Vegas, stays in Vegas.” Wilson wore a shirt that read, “M’VPeriodt.” Even Gray and Stokes bounded around in their medical walking boots.Just now
