LAS VEGAS — Wherever Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu looked Friday while on offense, there were Aces defenders right on top of her. «They didn't give me the light of day,» Ionescu said.

Las Vegas staved off elimination with a 95-81 victory in Game 3 of its WNBA semifinal series with New York. That was thanks in large part to improved defense and a huge sense of urgency.

Ionescu has been scoreless just once in her WNBA career, in 2021, but the Aces nearly pulled that off Friday. Her only points came on a free throw after an Aces technical foul and a 3-pointer, both in the fourth quarter. «Every game of the series, things have been changing,» Ionescu said. «They lost two games allowing me to come off screens and pick them apart offensively.

So I think this game you were able to see the adjustments they made — sending two or three to the ball at one time and not letting me get anything easy.
