The Aces and Liberty made this game one for the history books. An incredibly hard-fought game for the greatest award the WNBA has to offer, the championship trophy. Congrats to the Aces. Looking forward to next season.
Can we talk about the defensive rotation here at the end? A thing of beauty. The initial defense on Stewart the double by Jackie. The rotation from the weak side by Kelsey so that Laney had to hesitate to take the shot. Then the recovery rotation by Jackie to challenge the Vandersloot shot. They wanted to get a shot off sooner so that they could hit the offensive boards but had no chance to do so because there was too much help D everywhere. Love to see it. Congrats Aces. And if you didn’t know… A’ja is HER. Ridiculous that Ionescu got a signature shoe before A’ja. Not hating. Just saying 🤔🤨😂
I know this isn’t what you said but I don’t think it’s ridiculous Ionesco got her own shoe but it’s ridiculous (and probably racist) that Aja doesn’t have a shoe. LeBron says it’s coming! Though it’s years too late. We want an Aja shoe!
It was perfection! Clark was just about like glue on Stewart that she made her need to pass it from the time she had to tip the ball to herself on the inbound pass. Young came over on helpside D to make it even harder on Stewart that she needed to pass it off to Laney. Young then rotates from Stewart back to Laney AND Plum then rotates to guard Laney because Young was still in motion from guarding Stewart. Then Young hustles all the way from Laney over to Vandersloot to guard her forcing an airball! A thing of beauty is right!!!
I think NY taking that last time out, could have cost them. These are Top player's; they knew what to do! Them having to bring the ball in like that, gave the Aces time to set up a good defence. Good game to All!!
Nope, time out was the right call. Breanna (30) had an iso played drawn for her with 8 sec on the clock. No double for 4 sec until she spinned into the double; should have spinned to baseline for an easy 2. Breanna's was 2018 and 2020 finals MVP, 2022 scoring leader, and made WNBA 1st team 4x. Point is WNBA is just bad. You give any NBA player with the same accolades as her and 8 sec on the clock, easy 2, tying the series 2-2.

That coach should have let them play. They had plenty of time, & could have gotten a 2nd shot off. Great defense from Alysha Clark!
@pattibond men do do it better. Evidence is in viewership and income NBA brings in compare to WNBA. I don't watch the WNBA. I came by to just make this comment and looked up who 30 was.
@@dcoledesttaevadoithawj2207get your head out of the sand. ESPN Etc are the ones who make the decision on what they'll cover. Viewership would be up, if they'd cover more games - Duh! Attendance? They pretty much play the Same teams all the time, because they're aren't many teams in the league. WNBA hasn't been around very long. Women want more pay; they're fighting for it, just like in All industries. There are only 12 or 13 teams. They need more teams! The men's teams could/should carry the load. It's coming around. Who won the 3 point shoot around, with men And women in it?? Sabrina Ionoscu !!! Being a good shooter/ player doesn't depend on gender. I'd much rather watch players hit 3 pointers, or Any shot from the field, vs dunks all the time. There's No talent in a dunk - sorry. Don't take away from these women who have worked hard to get where they are. Most of them are damn good player's! Like I said in my Original comment, NY coach should have let them take the ball to the basket Vs a timeout . There was plenty of time, & these are some of the Top female players! WHY take a chance on losing the ball while throwing it in, And giving the other team (Aces) time to set up, when you've Already got possession of the ball, & it's Already in your hands?? She shouldn't have. I believe it cost NY the game. We'll just agree to disagree.
AJA, the star of the team, had the most points and eventually was named MVP of the game...who else shot would it make sense to to block? Do you watch basketball.
I’d love to give credit to the New York Liberty 🗽 because they played hard this season to get to this point! Congratulations to the Las Vegas Aces on their 2nd Championship!
That’s usually how it goes. But - if you played, you know that no single play wins or loses the game. That turnover is not more important than any other turnover.
My team my girls. Aces simply the best. Nervy ending. Congratulations girls. Back to back. You deserve the title. Defend it again. Let's go for the triple. I trust you. Congratulations
I felt like throwing up to watching how bad the Liberty were in these playoffs. If you can't beat the Aces without four players you will never win a championship. Now Sabrina gets screwed out of a championship again.
1:03 I remember think at the time that if Vegas lost, that was going to be the reason why. TERRIBLE turnover by Plum that could have given the Liberty full momentum. The Aces were just able to hold onto that lead by the skin of their teeth. That’s a big time close to a game.
@@datnewfixI agree. Coaching and defense won this game. The Liberty got their heart broke tonight. They had to watch LV celebrate on their home floor with three of their best players injured and on crutches.
Can't believe they didn't call the foul on Jonquel on that last Aces possession. Raked A'ja's left arm pretty hard and should have put her to the free throw line.
Hindsight here. Maybe get the ball into Jo Jones low post shot and foul or shot made no foul. Win win. Great game either way. Wilson is MVP year round.
congrats to my team las vegas aces,everyone count them out including me after loosing chelsea gray i did not think that was possible that they had a chance to win this,i'm still in disbelieve that they won the championship,now the next history making is a 3-peat.l ol.
A'ja Wilson is the REAL MVP 3-17 IS NOT MVP worthy. And that was just this game. Stewie's series was lack luster at best. Three 40 point games does not make a season
New York sucked they blew a golden opportunity and let's face it their top players were mediocre at best A'ja is the real MVP she took it to whoever tried to guard her Jonquil is so slow and a liability..
That last possession did not go well.The Aces beat a very good team.I followed the Liberty all year and they play at a high level and have elite players
Hated the timeout w/ 8 seconds left...Inoscu is a scorer--this was your chance. If you miss, you have the opportunity to rebound or foul w/ time left on the clock. She had the momentum, defense was scrambling and she had the 1 v 1. Yes, defense was very tough, physical but you have the offensive moves to create.
The craziest thing happened my app went out due to non-payment on it 10/18/23 the same day the Aces took the 🗽 out. It wasn't meant for me 2 c them lose. 😥 SMDH.
I believe that if They pass or She pass or throw The balll To Sabrina She can make a two Points or Three Points The Liberty Team Will win it it could Be 72 Liberty,and 70 That so that would Be The final score If The decision of Sabrina's Team mate would work there so perfectly if that would Be The plan of The coach,and that is Sabrina The 3 pointer,and Im her number one fan!!! Do your very best my Sabrina!!!
Breanna Stewart is the MVP of the league. It doesn't matter if she's 1-21 from the field. She's got to take that shot. I don't think Alysha Clark could block her shot, and besides, she wasn't going to foul her. I wanted a Game 5 just because. NY will feel the sting of this loss up until next season. CP3 is my #1 and I wish she coyote have played! Congrats, Aces, on Back 2 Back Chips...
Hated they dumped into Stewart...should've had a guard handle that #1, and hot potato at the end to sprinting defense---what about a ball fake for a shot? C;mon you gals are pros.
You all give Candace a break please not because she wasn't on the court.. can't you all hear her teammates and coach giving her praise for her insights game plans etc... she still played a huge role that got them championship
Seriously all jokes aside. This isn't about a man's sport or a woman's sport. This was just a really good competitive contest between two teams that wanted it. How could you not enjoy this if you're a fan of bball? Regardless of the gender that's playing
Why didn't she cut if she would have cut when they doubled Brianna she could throw the ball somebody would have came to commit she could have dumped it to the bed she would have scored that would have been the end of it
You are never too old when you still have more to offer l. Injuries happen to every athlete. She's got a lot left and I can't wait to see her next season. She's one of the Greatest to ever play!!
@@mplou699 They get old,look how Wade,Kobe/Shaq fell over.She probably won't be back next season because she didn't sign but a 1 yr deal.They got a stack team already
How do you people even call this basketball. This is not even entertaining unless you call it comedic. There are at least 200 boys high school basketball teams in America, that would beat any of these team every time they played them. Please quit saying that these players are entertaining. They certainly don’t deserve what money they do make. They don’t earn it, the NBA donates money for them. So, without the NBA there would be no “WNBA” period.
Super boring super low scoring more turnovers than great plays and the MVP didn't show up and play for 4 straight games. Sabrina John Paul Jones and breana Stewart are soft. Any contact and they start making wining faces start bouncing their head like a bobble head and completely melt down. Game 1 was the only watchable game. Meanwhile the Phoenix Suns scoring 78 points before halftime in preseason. WNBA is a bad joke.

Jackie’s defensive rotation on that last possession was incredible! Great TEAM WIN
Jacki and AC were in there
I keep coming back to that very part! It was like she cloned herself to play defense against 3 different players!
Outstanding!
The Liberty really squandered a perfect opportunity with all the injuries to the Aces. Jackie Young's defense in the last 15 seconds was perfect.
The Aces and Liberty made this game one for the history books. An incredibly hard-fought game for the greatest award the WNBA has to offer, the championship trophy. Congrats to the Aces. Looking forward to next season.
This 90 seconds never gets old! ❤
Jackie Young, defense was phenomenal in the last seconds in the fourth quarter . ❤❤ Love it.
Jackie was playing DEFENSE like me n I'm a fast quick dude, she closed on the ball just as fast as me ,
Congratulations to the LV Aces!! 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 well deserved!

AJA Wilson My MVP In The Finals Great Job Ace
It took 3 Liberty players: Jones, Stewie and Sabrina collectively to stop Aja Wilson and block her shot! 😂

And there possibly was a foul
The Las Vegas Aces make us so proud. We are the proudest city on Earth! ♠️
This was a very exciting game
Aja is BEAUTIFUL

And they won without 3 of their top 5 players!

Vandersloot said she didnt have time to get a shot off
Ma'am you caught the ball with 2.6 seconds left....
Yeheeey champions again love you las vegas aces love love love❤ from Phillipines 😊🎉
Magnificent
Peep Jackie Young’s outstanding defense!!!!!!!!
She moved to 3 players in under 5 seconds to make their shots contested!
LITERAALLYYY!!!
Aces, much love and Congratulations to you. Ladies and those who stepped in for those injured players, job well done. 😊😊. Yall go on and on!!!. Yeess
Love the Aces!❤❤❤❤

Oh NO, NY coach always counts on the UCANT Stewie.
She had only like four points. A lot to put on the shoulders of someone who was playing like shit during the game.
Good job on defense Jackie
Man that court is NICEEE
the first overall picks in the years 2016-2020 are all in this game. Breanna Stewart, Kelsey Plum, Aja Wilson, Jackie Young, Ionescu
I am very happy for Alysha Clark 3 of those thangs now
bravo
Good game
JJ went to ny just to lose to the same team damn
Yeah she is so overrated and a cry baby with no quick second bounce like A'ja smh...
I know I feel for JJ she fought hard though, so respect!
She should have stayed at the Sun...it would have been the Sun vs the ACES.@@MsCherrylove44
@regrich8795 Overrated? SHE'S a MVP
Come home for the celebration 🎉❤❤❤❤❤. Not going to miss this one
congrats to my team las vegas aces,everyone count them out including me after loosing chelsea gray i did not think that was possible that they had a chance to win this,i'm still in disbelieve that they won the championship,now the next history making is a 3-peat.l ol.
If every women's college basketball coach in this great country of ours does not show film of A. Clarks' defense on Stewart "Shame on You".
Congrats to the ex Mystics players K. George and A.Clark.
Let's go aces 🎉
Also jones was in the lane 6 seconds count it yourselves !
She’s been in the lane that long all season
Straight Camping in the lane I thought i was the only one that noticed that
4:50 ny should have never called that TO. 😒 4:54
That’s what I said! It slowed momentum. If anything they should’ve called it as soon as they got that stop.
A'ja Wilson is the REAL MVP
3-17 IS NOT MVP worthy. And that was just this game. Stewie's series was lack luster at best. Three 40 point games does not make a season
Lonescu and Brianna Stewart on the same team and they lost? wow!
Now Give All Of Them Women Top Shoes Deal's! They deserve it 💪💯. Shonda -Monkey ❤️
Damn, I wanted Stewie to stay undefeated in the finals.
New York sucked they blew a golden opportunity and let's face it their top players were mediocre at best A'ja is the real MVP she took it to whoever tried to guard her Jonquil is so slow and a liability..
So you mean to tell me Stewie couldn’t hit a turn around or post up smh they had so many chances to win smh good job Vegas
I need Wilson's jersey.
Sandy brondollo is a extremely excellent coach its just a shame she had to come up short
Rebecca was dead silent. Lol
That was intense
Coach why yuo did not use mj why yoy keep her on the bench.
tu as raison. C'est une erreur stupide
It is good
yallah too much ego in liberty. not a real team. bravo marine !!! such an adventure. french from nyc are proud about you !!!!
The day has come where watching the WNBA is better than watching Baseball
Ratings prove otherwise
@holdmyweight3597 WNBA Ratings are UP....Baseball Ratings are DOWN...SO MUCH FOR THAT
Yeah baseball ratings are in the toilet. 😂😂 one of the most masculine sports on the planet😂😂😂
That last possession did not go well.The Aces beat a very good team.I followed the Liberty all year and they play at a high level and have elite players
New York Coming for that next season almost had it here
pourquoi shooter à 3 pts quand deux suffisaient ?
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

New York can’t finish anything more or less than your wallet.
Alysha Clark fouled Stewie before the ball was inbounded. Clark then fouled Jonquel Jones on the rebound.
Oh my lanta!

Keirstan Bell acting like she did something. She had a -7 in two minutes of play. If she were on tue court one more minute, they would've lost.
Ionescu shouldve took that last shot
Just throw a bigger defender on her teams scout her well and she's locked down
Lol for what she hasn’t done shit this whole series she’s the real reason they loss
At least ny got off a wide open shot….she just choke 6:50 😒
Wait until Candace Parker returns next season..
Breanna Stewart is the MVP of the league. It doesn't matter if she's 1-21 from the field. She's got to take that shot. I don't think Alysha Clark could block her shot, and besides, she wasn't going to foul her. I wanted a Game 5 just because. NY will feel the sting of this loss up until next season. CP3 is my #1 and I wish she coyote have played! Congrats, Aces, on Back 2 Back Chips...
Go see both A’ja and Stewies overall stats A’ja is better at everything
How literally going to double dribble pick it up and dribble again
r u kidding me!! Y was the ball not Ionescu hands . Sabrina should always take the last shot. terrible coaching
Hated they dumped into Stewart...should've had a guard handle that #1, and hot potato at the end to sprinting defense---what about a ball fake for a shot? C;mon you gals are pros.
Candace gotta free ring

Cheated her put of MVP of league but she got this one😂
When was this??????
I felt sorry for Brianna she deserves a championship 🏆
well then she shouldn’t go 3-17
She won one with Seattle, n 2020,
Why didn't she cut if she would have cut when they doubled Brianna she could throw the ball somebody would have came to commit she could have dumped it to the bed she would have scored that would have been the end of it
Parecía un partido amañado increíble lo de BREANNA Stewart debajo del aro y no la metía ...lo de JONQUEL JONES cero block cero defensa..no le doy like
Stewie is MVP. The Liberty lives or dies on her shoulders. Take the shot. Be like Mike or Kobe, not LeBron.
Stewie is not reall mvp if you go look at overall stats
@@Whitewolf1827 I agree and it showed in her lack of play.
