**Las Vegas, NV** – The reigning WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces face a daunting challenge as they attempt to make their third consecutive WNBA Finals appearance. Down 2-0 in the series against the New York Liberty, the Aces need a historic turnaround to overcome the deficit and keep their championship hopes alive.
The Aces have reached the WNBA semi-finals six times in their history, but this year’s series against the Liberty marks their first 2-0 deficit in such a stage. While they have a 3-2 record overall in semi-final series, a loss in this crucial game would leave their record at a .500 mark.
Their journey to this point has been marked by triumphs and setbacks. Notably, they were the first-ever WNBA team to reach the semi-finals in 2002 but were defeated by the Los Angeles Sparks. After a five-year hiatus, they returned in 2007 and 2008, winning the series in the latter year before falling in the finals. A long drought followed until their 2019 appearance, which ended in elimination.
The Aces then reached the WNBA Finals in 2020, only to lose to the Seattle Storm. Despite another semi-finals loss in 2021, they rebounded to become champions in 2022 and 2023.
The Aces will need to win all three remaining games against the Liberty to advance to the WNBA Finals, a task that will require immense effort and determination. The crucial game will be held at the Michelob ULTRA Arena on October 4, with tip-off scheduled for 9:30 PM ET / 6:30 PM PT. Can the Aces pull off a miraculous comeback and secure their spot in the WNBA Finals?
