Overview

  • Las Vegas leads the Finals 3-0 after a 90-88 Game 3 win sealed by A’ja Wilson’s last-second jumper following a 34-point, 14-rebound performance.
  • Game 4 is Friday at 8 p.m. ET at Phoenix’s Mortgage Matchup Center on ESPN, with the Aces entering as slight favorites.
  • Phoenix ruled Satou Sabally out with a concussion sustained late in Game 3 during a rebound scramble, removing a 21.6 points-per-game scorer in this series.
  • Coach Nate Tibbetts is weighing rotation changes, with DeWanna Bonner or Sami Whitcomb candidates to start if Natasha Mack shifts roles.
  • Las Vegas holds decisive edges in 3-point shooting (12 more makes) and bench scoring (79-51), and no WNBA or NBA team has ever come back from 0-3 in a best-of-seven Finals.
