Aces Lead 3-0 After 90-88 Win

The Las Vegas Aces defeated the Phoenix Mercury 90-88 in Game 3 of the 2025 WNBA Finals on A'ja Wilson’s turnaround jumper with 0.3 seconds remaining, giving Las Vegas a 3-0 series lead. Phoenix rallied from a 17-point fourth-quarter deficit to tie the game in the final minute on big shots from Kahleah Copper and DeWanna Bonner but missed the final chance. Satou Sabally left after being kneed in the face and her injury status is uncertain as the Mercury prepare to host Game 4 on October 10. The Aces are chasing their third WNBA title in four years as Las Vegas moves within one win of the championship. The finals were expanded to a best-of-seven this year, reflecting the league’s growth. The championship is unfolding amid mounting off-court tensions over the collective bargaining agreement, which is set to expire Oct. 31.
