At home, Las Vegas has no room for error during Game 3. Because after New York's two victories, the Liberty is only one success away from the 2024 WNBA Finals…
Obviously, A’ja Wilson sets the tone for his team, with 13 points and 8 rebounds at halftime. The MVP is well supported by Jackie Young, who also has 13 points after two quarters. Las Vegas is clearly putting pressure on Sabrina Ionescu, preventing her from finding her spots and creating play.
Despite everything, thanks mainly to Breanna Stewart (14 points), the Liberty is in the match at the break (52-49).
Under the eyes of a good part of the Mavericks (Luka Doncic, Derek Lively II, Jason Kidd…), sitting in the front row, it is in the third quarter that the Aces will make the difference, with Kelsey Plum who finds the target in turn, but above all a New York team voiceless offensively. Sabrina Ionescu is pushed around physically and cannot put her team into action, who ends the period with a terrible 2/14 shooting!
The gap is made for the Aces, who return to 1-2 (95-81) in this semi-final and will therefore have the opportunity to equalize at home, during Game 4, Sunday. This will be followed from 9:00 p.m. French time.
