Liberty Advance to 2024 WNBA Finals

The New York Liberty have secured their place in the 2024 WNBA Finals by defeating the Las Vegas Aces 3-1 in the semifinals, with standout performances from guard Sabrina Ionescu. The Liberty now await the winner of the Connecticut Sun and Minnesota Lynx series to determine their finals opponent. This marks the Liberty's sixth Finals appearance, and despite being the top offensive team this season, they are still in pursuit of their first championship.
