Chelsea Gray, Las Vegas Aces finish off Seattle Storm to advance to WNBA Finals
Coming through in the same round where they fell short a year ago, the Las Vegas Aces returned to the WNBA Finals for the second time in the past three years with a 97-92 victory on Tuesday in Game 4 of their semifinal series against the Seattle Storm, winning 3-1. The Aces, who lost to Seattle in the 2020 WNBA Finals, were on the verge of returning last year before losing Game 5 of their semifinal series against the Phoenix Mercury with home-court advantage under former Las Vegas coach Bill Laimbeer. The loss ended the WNBA careers of Storm guards Sue Bird and Briann January, who had both announced they would retire at season's end. The moment was particularly poignant for Bird, who played all 19 of her seasons in Seattle.

That means one of these franchises will win the WNBA title for the first time. The matchup will pit first-year Aces head coach Becky Hammon against the Sun's Curt Miller, who was an assistant coach at Colorado State during part of Hammon's time as a player there in the 1990s.

Las Vegas Aces shed 'frustrating' first half, post Game 1 win over Connecticut Sun in WNBA Finals
The Aces got another dynamic-duo performance from season MVP A'Ja Wilson and Chelsea Gray, who has made a case thus far as the top WNBA player in the postseason. Wilson had 24 points, 11 rebounds and four blocked shots, while Gray had 21 points and three assists. The Aces won a Finals game for the first time in franchise history, topping the Connecticut Sun 67-64 here Sunday, and they did it with a second half fueled by a halftime torching from their coach.

Kelsey Plum responds to A'ja Wilson's blunt critique with 'statement' performance as Las Vegas Aces win Game 2 of WNBA Finals
Wilson and Gray continued their historic postseason tears, the former (26 points, 10 rebounds) by recording her fifth straight game with at least 20 points and 10 rebounds, tied for the longest such streak in WNBA history, including regular-season and playoff games. Gray (21 points, eight assists) compiled her fifth game in the playoffs with at least 20 points and five assists, one shy of the record for most in a single postseason. The Sun now have 10 losses in Finals games, tied for the most in WNBA history with the Minnesota Lynx, while still searching for their franchise-first title. But they're trying not to fixate on their 2-0 deficit as the series returns to their home floor.

'Remarkable' Alyssa Thomas' historic triple-double keeps Sun alive vs. Las Vegas
With their backs against the wall (again) in the WNBA playoffs, the Connecticut Sun found another gear. Leading the way was the player they call "the Engine," Alyssa Thomas. They lost a close Game 1 on Sunday and a not-so-close Game 2 on Tuesday at Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas. But back home at Mohegan Sun Arena in front of their fans, the Sun summoned the mojo they needed to force Game 4, which will be this Sunday here in Connecticut.

Las Vegas Aces win their first WNBA title, beating Connecticut Sun in Game 4 of Finals; Chelsea Gray named MVP
Nearly a year ago, the Las Vegas Aces suffered a season-ending loss that burned within them throughout the winter months all the way into this season. But that feeling was eclipsed Sunday, as the Aces beat the Connecticut Sun 78-71 in Game 4 and won the WNBA title 3-1, giving the city of Las Vegas its first major professional sports championship. It is also a first for the Aces franchise, which started as the Utah Starzz in 1997 when the WNBA made its debut as a league. The team moved to San Antonio in 2003 and appeared in its only previous WNBA Finals in 2008, getting swept. Becky Hammon was a player for San Antonio then; she is head coach for Las Vegas now.
