After a dominating win in Game 3, the Aces will look to force a Game 5 today vs the Liberty. Las Vegas won the last game by a score of 95-81 on Friday night in front of the home crowd. They will look to use home court advantage again.
The Aces and Liberty really matched up evenly statistically. Las Vegas shot much better and scored 14 more points in the paint, which were the difference maker. Otherwise, shooting from 3-point range, rebounds, assists and steals – they practically mirrored each other.
A’ja Wilson led the way for the Aces with 19 points and 14 rebounds. Jackie Young put up 24 points and Kelsey Plum had 20 points. Chelesea Gray came alive with 10 points and a big 7 assists., which led the team.
They will need to do the same as Game 3 and force the Liberty into bad shots. Another big key was shutting down Sabrina Ionescu. She has been dominating the playoffs, but was held to only 4 points, 5 assists and 5 rebounds.
New York will look to make adjustments to close out the series

New York just couldn’t get the baskets to fall last game. As mentioned before, Sabrina was nowhere to be found offensively, totaling only 4 points. This hurt the Liberty offense as she has been their best player.
Breanna Stewart hasn’t been the force that she can be after putting up 34 points. This team will need a big game out of her today to have a chance to close this series out.
Containing A’ja Wilson was what this team was doing best and last game, they let her eat. Keeping her to 15 points or less with less than 10 rebounds is a key to winning vs the Aces. The Liberty showed they can do it before, so it’s time to do it again.

I have to take my girls on the bounce back. If they can keep this game close, they have every chance to win this game. This would also be huge for them to advance to the finals and send the Aces packing on their home court.
Breanna Stewart needs to put up at least 25 points in this game. Jonquel Jones will need to have a double double, causing problems for Wilson down low. And, of course, the biggest factor – Ionescu having a better game.
Shooting better will be key for the Liberty. They can’t let the Aces force them into bad shots. Moving the ball quickly will give them the chances they need. New York will also need Ionescu to come alive from 3.
I like Sabrina to get 4+ 3-pointers made for +152. Again, these will be necessary for the Liberty to win. I also like Breanna Stewart for over 20.5 points at -120. She has missed her last 2 games after a 34 point game.
