The super-team battle looks a bit lopsided to start the WNBA Finals. The Las Vegas Aces posted two dominant wins over the New York Liberty to open the series. With a win in Game 3 on Sunday, the Aces could claim their second straight title.
The Ace’s star power has so far overshadowed Liberty. A’ja Wilson dropped 26 points in the team’s 104-76 Game 2 win. Kelsey Bloom added 23 points and Jackie Young showed up again, dropping 24 points. Young also played a key role in the Aces’ Game 1 win, scoring 26 points over Liberty.
Meanwhile, Liberty is still searching for answers. Jonquil Jones was the only player on the team to score at least 20 points in Game 2. She finished with 22 points. Jones was really the only standout player offensively, as the team shot 36.1% from the field. The Liberty made 46.4% of their field goal attempts during the team’s Game 1 loss. The rest of the offense will need to find their stroke if the Liberty hopes to make this series competitive.
Tips for Game 3 is at 3pm ET Sunday on ABC from Barclays Center in New York. If necessary, Game 4 will be on Wednesday.
