Aces aim to regain ‘edge’ vs. Liberty, make history

The Las Vegas Aces are facing a tough challenge as they try to rally from an 0-2 deficit in their best-of-five series against the New York Liberty. The Aces, who are aiming for a championship three-peat, will need to win the next three games to advance. New York, led by star Sabrina Ionescu, has been dominant in the series so far. Coach Becky Hammon is frustrated by her team’s defensive lapses and turnovers, but remains hopeful that they can turn things around. The Aces will need to be more aggressive and focused to have a chance at a comeback. It will be a tough task, as no defending champion has ever come back from an 0-2 series deficit before.
