WNBA playoffs 2024: Liberty, Aces to meet in semifinals - ESPN

espn.com

It was inevitable, wasn't it? The New York Liberty and Las Vegas Aces will meet again in the WNBA playoffs. Only this time, it's in the semifinals, 11 months after the Aces beat the Liberty in the WNBA Finals.

Top-seeded New York hosts No. 4 seed and two-time defending champion Las Vegas in a best-of-five series starting Sunday. Both teams advanced after sweeping their first-round opponents Tuesday.

The Aces struggled just enough for parts of the regular season to end up as the fourth seed. But it makes for a blockbuster series featuring the past two MVPs: Las Vegas' A'ja Wilson and New York's Breanna Stewart.

The Aces hit their low point after a 90-82 loss to New York on June 15 in Las Vegas; they were 6-6 at that point. Wilson vowed in the postgame news conference that things would get better.
