LAS VEGAS -- Coach Becky Hammon made a prediction before the Las Vegas Aces' 104-76 victory over the New York Liberty in Game 2 of the WNBA Finals on Wednesday.

"I think it's going to come down to the wire," Hammon said in her pregame meeting with the media. "I don't see any team either way allowing much separation tonight."

It might have been the Aces' only wrong call of the evening.

Las Vegas got off to an avalanche of a first quarter, allowed the Liberty a small hope of a comeback in the second period, and then slammed the door shut tightly in the second half.
