It wasn’t easy, but they got the job done! Sorta like the Nets last night! The New York Liberty faced a proud Las Vegas Aces team making a valiant last stand on Sunday in Vegas. The game was close for three quarters, but the Liberty had the champs in a vice grip and ended their three-peat dreams with a cathartic, convincing win to punch their ticket to the Finals and end the Vegas Curse.
Waiting for them will be the No. 2 seed, the Minnesota Lynx. Cheryl Reeve’s club punched their ticket to the Finals with a dominant win over the Connecticut Sun in Game 5 of the semifinals on Tuesday night.
