The New York Liberty and Las Vegas Aces locked horns in a blockbuster regular-season game at the Michelob ULTRA Arena on Wednesday.

New York Liberty coach Sandy Brondello didn't hesitate to mention the factors behind the winning streak of the Las Vegas Aces.

Still shorthanded despite welcoming back depth star Kennedy Burke to the fold (Isabelle Harrison, Nyara Sabally, and Breanna Stewart all remained out), the Liberty led for a significant portion of Wednesday's game, energized by shooting 50 percent through the first three periods.

Las Vegas hosts the New York Liberty after A'ja Wilson scored 32 points in the Las Vegas Aces' 94-86 victory against the Connecticut Sun.

New York rallied to avoid an 0-2 start, Las Vegas moved one win away from a return trip to the Finals and A'ja Wilson dropped another 30-point game.
