Defending WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces face Dallas Wings, New York Liberty take on Connecticut Sun in semis
A’ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces cruised through the opening round of the playoffs and now stand six wins away from becoming the WNBA’s first repeat champion in over two decades.
Las Vegas, which is looking to be the first team to repeat as champs since Los Angeles in 2001-02, had no trouble sweeping Chicago. The Aces didn’t trail in winning both games. Now Wilson and her teammates will have to deal with the formidable front line of the Wings, which features 6-foot-7 Teaira McCowan, 6-4 Satou Sabally and 6-2 Natasha Howard.
“It’s no secret our size is an issue. So our discipline has to be great, and our attention to detail,” Connecticut coach Stephanie White said. “Offensively, we have to make them work and find ways against their length, speed and athleticism to get good looks.”
