LAS VEGAS -- The outcome was familiar for the Las Vegas Aces. The feeling and path were not.
With Tuesday's 107-98 overtime victory against the Indiana Fever, the Aces advanced to the WNBA Finals for the fourth time in the past six years and the third in four seasons under coach Becky Hammon. The last two of those resulted in championships. Yet this season's run, which started with the team below .500 as recently as July 25, required Las Vegas to overcome a new level of adversity.
"Obviously we're not complacent," said league MVP A'ja Wilson.
