Aces on the Brink: Can They Mount Historic Comeback?

The Las Vegas Aces are in a precarious position, trailing the Golden State Valkyries 0-2 in their WNBA semifinal series. The Aces suffered an 83-81 defeat on Wednesday, with Gabby Williams contributing 20 points and five rebounds for the upstart Valkyries. This loss has pushed coach Becky Hammon's team to the edge of elimination.

As the series heads back to Las Vegas for Game 3 on Friday, Hammon expressed confidence in her team's ability to win three consecutive games and reach the WNBA Finals. However, she cautioned that past championship experience will not automatically lead to a victory.

Hammon stressed that all experience and past achievements do not carry over into the current series. She stated that every player must 'do the work' anew on the court, emphasizing that neither past comebacks nor previous successful plays guarantee future results.
