The final month of the WNBA regular season has arrived, which means it's officially time for the playoff push. Each team has 10 or fewer games remaining, and 10 of the league's 13 teams are within reach of a playoff spot.

The opponent tonight is still hanging around despite everything. The Las Vegas Aces have had some incredibly LOUD losses in 2025, but they’re still in the thick of the playoff picture. They helped themselves immensely with home win against the Connecticut Sun on Sunday night.

The New York Liberty and Las Vegas Aces locked horns in a blockbuster regular-season game at the Michelob ULTRA Arena on Wednesday.

Jewell Loyd had 21 points and five 3-pointers off the bench and the Las Vegas Aces beat the New York Liberty 83-77 for their fifth straight victory.

New York Liberty coach Sandy Brondello didn't hesitate to mention the factors behind the winning streak of the Las Vegas Aces.

Still shorthanded despite welcoming back depth star Kennedy Burke to the fold (Isabelle Harrison, Nyara Sabally, and Breanna Stewart all remained out), the Liberty led for a significant portion of Wednesday's game, energized by shooting 50 percent through the first three periods.

New York rallied to avoid an 0-2 start, Las Vegas moved one win away from a return trip to the Finals and A'ja Wilson dropped another 30-point game.
