Liberty and Lynx Set for WNBA Semifinals

The WNBA semifinals are set to begin with a highly anticipated rematch between the Las Vegas Aces and the New York Liberty, and another contest featuring the Minnesota Lynx against the Connecticut Sun. Both series feature teams that swept their first-round opponents, with the Aces overcoming the Seattle Storm and the Liberty defeating the Atlanta Dream. The Aces, led by MVP A'ja Wilson, are aiming for a third consecutive title, while the Liberty are looking for their first. The Lynx, powered by Napheesa Collier's remarkable performance, will face the Sun, who employ a stifling defense led by DeWanna Bonner and Alyssa Thomas. The Liberty and Aces series is particularly noteworthy, as it is a repeat of last year's finals, which the Aces won.
