NEW YORK — The WNBA continued opening weekend Saturday with a 2023 Finals rematch between the Las Vegas Aces and New York Liberty. The two franchises own the last three league championships and lead the field of contenders for the 2025 title.
The first punch of the 2025 rivalry went to New York. Breanna Stewart led the Liberty with 13 of her 25 points in the first half to give New York a 14-point lead. The Aces would push back in the third behind 11 points from three-time MVP A’ja Wilson. The Aces got within two points early in the fourth quarter, but New York closed out the game thanks to a gusty two-way performance from New York newcomer Natasha Cloud.
