The Las Vegas Aces bounce back with a blowout win over the New York Liberty in Game 3 of the semifinals! Will they continue the streak? 🌟🥳

In a thrilling showdown that got fans on the edge of their seats, the Las Vegas Aces staved off elimination with an impressive 95-81 victory over the New York Liberty in Game 3 of the WNBA semifinals. The spotlight shone brightly on Jackie Young, who dazzled with a stellar performance, scoring 24 points and bringing much-needed energy to the Aces’ game. After having faced two tough losses in New York, the Aces knew they had to come back strong at the Michelob Ultra Arena, and boy, did they deliver! With a sold-out crowd roaring, especially during the height of their game-changing 17-2 run at the end of the third quarter, the Aces showed they have what it takes to fend off a sweep.

It was a nail-biter in the first half, as neither team could pull ahead decisively, but the Aces flipped the script when it mattered most. The energy surged as Kelsey Plum and her teammates built momentum, suffocating the Liberty and showcasing their championship pedigree. This comeback win not only revitalized the Aces’ hopes but also set the stage for a tense Game 4, where they will have to maintain this intensity to keep their title defense alive.

Meanwhile, the Liberty are left dusting themselves off and strategizing for the next encounter. Despite the setback, they’ve proven themselves throughout the playoffs and remain a formidable opponent. Sabrina Ionescu’s performance has been a standout this season, but she’ll need to rally her team and shake off the defeat if they want to secure their spot in the finals.
