Congrats: Las Vegas Aces, WNBA Champions!
It took 4 games, but The Las Vegas Aces put the cap on an incredible season by winning the WNBA Championship! After winning the first two games at home here in Las Vegas, the series moved to Connecticut for games 3 and 4.
Getting a little roughed up in Game 3, The Las Vegas Aces re-grouped and came out in Game 4 a little more composed and ready to take it to the Sun! Winning Game 4 78-71 in front of a very hostile crowd in New England, the Aces came away with the win and the WNBA Championship for 2022.
Lead by a former All-American and an undrafted rookie who went on to become a six time WNBA All-Star, Head Coach Becky Hammon, a longtime former assistant coach for the San Antonio Spurs, proved to a lot of fans who thought she couldn’t handle the job wrong! The first year coach lead the team all the way to the championship finals and walked away with a ring…Coach Hammon was also named “Coach of the Year” by the league.
With A’ja Wilson already winning the league MVP and Defensive Player of the Year, Chelsea Gray led the Aces with 20 points in Game 4 and was named the Most Valuable Player of the Finals.
And for those that were wondering why Mark Davis, Las Vegas Raider owner, decided to show up at the game instead of at the Raiders home openers against the Arizona Cardinals, it’s because he also owns The Las Vegas Aces! Davis bought the team a year ago from the MGM Resorts International…and it seems to have been a pretty good investment!
All in all, it was a great season for The Las Vegas Aces that bring the first major league sports championship title to the city of Las Vegas! The Mike & Carla Morning Show share the support this morning with audio of the final few seconds of Game 4 from yesterday afternoon and the last time A’ja Wilson stopped by The M&C Morning Show…enjoy and Congrats to our Las Vegas Aces!
