WNBA Finals: Las Vegas Aces Clinch Third Title in Four Seasons

The Las Vegas Aces secured their third WNBA championship in four seasons by defeating the Phoenix Mercury 97-86 in Game 4 of the finals on Fri, Oct 10, 2025. League MVP A’ja Wilson led the team with 31 points and nine rebounds, contributing significantly to the victory.

Wilson, a four-time league MVP, excelled by making 17 of 19 free throws and earning her second Finals MVP award. In addition to Wilson, Jackie Young added 18 points and eight assists, Chelsea Gray also scored 18 points, Jewell Loyd contributed 12 points, and Dana Evans added 10 points for the Aces. The team made 12 three-pointers and had only seven turnovers.

For the Phoenix Mercury, Kahleah Copper reached a career playoff-high with 30 points before fouling out. Alyssa Thomas achieved her 10th triple-double of the year. DeWanna Bonner, filling in for the absent Satou Sabally, managed 10 points and 10 rebounds. The Mercury, however, struggled with 18 turnovers.

Satou Sabally, who averaged 19 points per game in the postseason, missed Game 4 due to a concussion sustained in Game 3. Despite Thomas's triple-double performance, Phoenix could not compensate for Sabally’s absence. The Mercury’s turnovers led to 26 points for Las Vegas, highlighting a critical area where the game was decided.

A’ja Wilson averaged 28.5 points and 11.8 rebounds over the series, narrowly missing a fourth consecutive double-double. The Aces finished their season with a strong record, winning 25 of their last 28 games. Discussions regarding a new collective bargaining agreement could influence team compositions next season, as many Aces players, like others in the league, are free agents.

If key players including Wilson, Young, Gray, and Loyd remain with the team, the Aces could maintain their competitive edge. Achieving a fourth title would place them alongside Houston, Seattle, and Minnesota for the most championships in league history.
