Could tonight mark the end of the road for the Las Vegas Aces? That’s the looming question as they face off against the New York Liberty in the WNBA semifinal game. Here’s everything you need to know about where to catch the action and how to live stream it.
The Liberty vs Aces are set to clash for the third time, and possibly the final time, in this playoff series. After two consecutive losses in New York, the Aces are back on their home court, hoping to turn the tide. This season has been challenging for the Aces, who are ranked fourth in the league, a stark contrast to their previous two championship-winning years.
The Liberty, holding the top spot in the league, are aiming for their first-ever championship title after losing to the Aces in the Finals last season. Since the second round of the WNBA Playoffs is a best-of-five series, another win for the Liberty would eliminate the Aces from contention. However, if the Aces can secure a victory, they’ll force a Game 4 on Sunday.
Regardless of the outcome for the Aces, the Sun vs. Lynx series will continue with at least one more game. For updates on upcoming matchups, check out our WNBA Playoffs streaming guide.
