Becky Hammon has gone 9-1 in playoff series as a head coach 👏
With the semifinals win, she passes Phil Jackson for the best postseason series record by any head coach in NBA and WNBA history (min. 10 series) 🔥
If NaLyssa Smith has proved anything, it’s that fit, need, and buy-in combined with the right infrastructure matter. What she’s accomplished since arriving in Las Vegas can’t be questioned, and you can see her love for the game has returned……..
@Flash_v9@ariivory Have you seen how efficient she is from those ""chucked 10 ft fadeaways"? Have you seen the footwork and the way she gets to the rim no matter who is guarding her?
A'ja Wilson is shooting 50 percent.
No, I don't mean field goal percentage. A'ja Wilson has been named Most Valuable Player in 50 percent of the WNBA seasons she's played.
No guard put together a better first-round stat line in the WNBA playoffs than Jackie Young. She averaged (19.0) points, (4.0) rebounds, (4.0) assists, and (3.0) steals while shooting 52.6% from the field, 42.9% from three, and 91.7% at the line.
Her go-ahead, game-winning putback sealed the series for the Las Vegas Aces and sent them to the semifinals, where they’ll face the Indiana Fever in a best-of-five matchup. ✨
CC fans spent a whole year flexing her “carrying” them to a first round playoff exit, just for the Fever to win the commissioners cup and make the semi-finals without her
The Las Vegas Aces don’t survive the first round without Jackie Young. She’s earned the reputation of the silent assassin—never the loudest presence on the floor, but lethal when the moment demands it. With 12 seconds left, she slipped into position, snatched A’ja Wilson’s missed step-back, and buried the putback to give Vegas a 74–73 lead.
The seven-year pro averaged (19.0) points, (4.0) rebounds, (4.0) assists, and (3.0) steals per game across three contests. ✨
