The stage is finally set. The Aces and Mercury will go head-to-head in the WNBA Finals to determine the league’s 2025 champion.
No. 2-seeded Las Vegas has advanced to the Finals for the fourth time in six years, but not without some struggle along the way. The Fever pushed the Aces to a nail-biting fifth game in the semifinals, which ended in a dramatic 107-98 victory in overtime.
No. 4 Phoenix enters the Finals on a high after edging out the No. 1-seeded favorite Minnesota Lynx in the semifinals. A major performance from Alyssa Thomas and some late 3-pointers from DeWanna Bonner helped the Mercury to overcome a 13-point fourth quarter deficit to punch their ticket in Game 4.
Who will prevail and take home the trophy in 2025?
