The Las Vegas Aces are in their third win-or-go-home game of the 2019 WNBA Playoffs and several NBA stars have turned out to see the show. Fierce front-court stars A’ja Wilson and Liz Cambage, plus disruptive point guard Kelsey Plum and Sixth Woman of the Year Dearica Hamby, are trying to even the semifinals series to force a Game 5 against the Washington Mystics in the nation’s capital.
In the WNBA, the semifinals and finals are best-of-five series.
ESPN’s sideline reporter Kim Adams commented on the NBA royalty in attendance for tonight’s Sin City affair. Seated courtside are none other than LeBron James and Los Angeles Lakers teammate Anthony Davis. But Adams also spotted Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green in the crowd.
The Aces are the best defensive team in the WNBA. The Mystics are the best offensive team in the WNBA, and calls Elena Delle Donne, the newly-minted league MVP following a 50-40-90 season, as their star.
Can the Aces clinch a third win-or-go-home victory of this year’s postseason? Or will the Mystics punch their ticket to a second-straight WNBA Finals? There are two more quarters to be played. No matter what happens, it seems NBA stars like Green are sticking around for the thrilling show.
