It’s the inevitable meeting of the superteams again. Except the postseason clash that’s been expected all year will go down in the semifinals.
The No. 1 New York Liberty and No. 4 Las Vegas Aces will tip off their best-of-five WNBA semifinal series at Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Sunday (3 p.m. ET, ABC). Each franchise returns the starting five from the 2023 WNBA Finals that Vegas won in four games at Barclays. And the teams' front offices filled out stronger, deeper benches to make runs at history.
The Aces are going for a three-peat that has been done only once in WNBA history, when the Houston Comets won the league's first four titles.
