The 2023 WNBA Finals came to a conclusion in thrilling fashion on Wednesday night, as the Las Vegas Aces outlasted the New York Liberty for a 70-69 win in Game 4 to become the first team to win back-to-back championships since the Los Angeles Sparks in 2001 and 2002.
The Aces were without star point guard Chelsea Gray and starting center Kiah Stokes — to say nothing of Candace Parker’s continued long-term absence — and quickly went down by double digits. But they managed to hang around, and then surged in front in the fourth quarter before hanging on at the buzzer.
A’ja Wilson, who put her team on her back with 24 points and 16 rebounds to clinch the title, was named Finals MVP. She averaged 21.3 points, 12.5 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game in the series.
