WNBA semifinals feature marquee players, a finals rematch and teams looking for first titles
Star power, a quest for a three-peat and two franchises looking for their first championships highlight the WNBA semifinals that begin Sunday
NEW YORK (AP) — Star power, a quest for a three-peat and two franchises looking for their first championships highlight the WNBA semifinals that begin Sunday.
The Las Vegas Aces will face the New York Liberty in a WNBA Finals rematch from last season while the Connecticut Sun play the Minnesota Lynx in the other series.
The Aces, led by unanimous MVP A'ja Wilson, are looking to become the first team since the Houston Comets to win three titles in a row while the Liberty are trying for a measure of revenge against Las Vegas after losing last year.
Minnesota was the dominant team last decade winning four titles in a seven-year span from 2011-2017. They haven't reached the WNBA Finals since. Connecticut has reached the championship round twice since the Lynx's run, but lost both times.
