The WNBA semifinals are here, and things got started with a bang: a blockbuster matchup between the New York Liberty and the Las Vegas Aces. Despite a number of turnovers, the Liberty held strong to take an 87-77 Game 1 win.
Breanna Stewart and Sabrina Ionescu combined for 55 points to get the win in front of a packed crowd at Brooklyn's Barclays Center. New York now leads Las Vegas 1-0 in the best-of-five semifinal series.
The Aces came with the energy, with all of the players wearing A'ja Wilson's No. 22 jersey pregame to honor the unanimous 2024 WNBA MVP.
