Midway through the fourth quarter, the tables had turned.
The New York Liberty were up 67-63 after Chelsea Gray hit another 3-pointer to bring the Las Vegas Aces within four, a vantage point they were definitely not supposed to be in. It felt just like the end of the first quarter, which ended 28-24 in the Aces’ favor.
In that quarter, the home team hit their first five triples and glided through New York’s defense like a good pair of scissors. So when Sabrina Ionescu hit a couple of laughable shots to cut the deficit to two possessions.
