The stage is set for A'ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces to take on Breanna Stewart and the New York Liberty in a star-studded rematch of last year's WNBA Finals.
This time it's a round sooner.
The Liberty and Aces swept their first-round opponents and will meet Sunday in a semifinal showdown. New York has been on a mission all season to get back to the Finals and win the franchise's first WNBA championship.
To accomplish that goal they'll have to beat the two-time defending champion Aces. They'll meet in the semifinals best-of-five series that begins in New York in Sunday.
"They've been the best team all year. They played like a team ,,, with an edge," Las Vegas coach Becky Hammon said. "And we've worked our way there. I feel like we got our edge back probably in the last three to four weeks. I don't think we're the same team that New York has seen."
