A WNBA Finals matchup "between the league’s two super-teams" comes to a head Sunday when the Liberty and the Aces clash on the Las Vegas Strip, and the series is "expected to be one of the best and most-viewed the league has ever seen." The league is "gearing up for what is expected to be huge viewership numbers" and a series "likely to go a full five games." Tipoff for Game 1 of the best-of-five series at Michelob Ultra Arena is 3pm ET on ABC (YAHOO SPORTS, 10/6).
The matchup features "two of the most dominant regular-season teams in WNBA history." The Liberty hadn’t made the Finals since 2002 and have "the most wins in league history without a title" (450). The Aces are defending champions with three Finals trips in the four years and are "seeking to become the first repeat WNBA champs since" the 2001-02 Sparks (THE ATHLETIC, 10/6).
The talent-packed @nyliberty had some historic moments this szn and hope to keep the momentum going in the #WNBAFinals 👏
