LAS VEGAS — Becky Hammon waited and believed in this version of the Las Vegas Aces. The two-time champs are at their best when their guard trio clicks on all cylinders around three-time MVP A’ja Wilson. It was a version missing for much of the season, and it certainly didn’t show up in Brooklyn for the first two semifinal games.
“Man, we was waiting on that, too,” Chelsea Gray said after masterfully leading the Aces' offense back to that version of itself.
The Aces didn’t merely survive on the brink of elimination, they hit full throttle in a dominant 95-81 victory at home Friday to keep their season and three-peat hopes alive.
