A’ja Wilson, the league’s 2020 MVP, took over in the final minute to lead the top-seeded Las Vegas Aces to a 83-75 victory and out of what was looking like a 0-2 series hole against the No. 7 seed Connecticut Sun. That series is now tied.
It was a 3-point score fest that turned into a block party in the long-await semifinal between the No. 2 Seattle Storm and the No. 4 Minnesota Lynx. The Storm survived, 88-86, at the buzzer after the game was postponed on Sunday when three Storm players received inconclusive COVID-19 tests that morning.
