5 things you didn’t know about Aces 2nd consecutive WNBA championship

The Aces will celebrate their latest championship with a parade on Oct. 23.

The Las Vegas Aces have done it again and are the first team in 21 years to win consecutive WNBA titles. Las Vegas defeated the New York Liberty, 70-69, in Game 4 to secure the win. The contest was the most-watched Game 4 in WNBA history, and the WNBA Finals were the most-watched in 20 years, up 36% from 2022.

There were 16,851 people in attendance to see the Aces clinch the title. Aces superstar A’ja Wilson was named the Finals MVP and recorded 24 points and 16 rebounds, her 18th playoff double-double. Liberty guard Courtney Vandersloot scored 19 points and was one of four Liberty players to score in double figures.

The Aces trailed by as many as 12 in Game 4, the second-largest comeback in a title-clinching win. The top spot is held by the 2021 Chicago Sky, who were down 14 to beat the Phoenix Mercury.
