A championship series that was billed as a battle of the superteams has turned into a display of pure domination.
The Aces have completely outclassed the Liberty through the first two games of the 2023 WNBA Finals, winning those contests by a combined 45 points. Las Vegas was unstoppable in a Game 2 blowout, shooting 52.9 percent from the field and 44.8 percent on 3-pointers.
With just one more victory, the Aces will become the first team to capture back-to-back titles since the 2001-02 Sparks. The Liberty, meanwhile, are looking to make history, as no team has ever overcome a 2-0 deficit in the WNBA Playoffs.
Will Las Vegas close out the series with a sweep? Or will New York stay alive with a Game 3 win?
Here is everything you need to know about Liberty vs Aces, including TV and streaming options for the game.
