The New York Liberty could take a significant step at pulling a shocking leap of the Las Vegas Aces atop the standings in the super-teams’ final regular-season meeting at Barclays Center on Monday (7 p.m. ET, ESPN2).
More would have to happen than a Liberty victory, but it would bring them in easier striking distance and take away the Aces’ head-to-head tiebreaker advantage. Las Vegas (30-5) is 2-1 in the regular-season meetings while New York (27-7) defeated the Aces in the Commissioner’s Cup championship on the Aces' home court.
