"PHOENIX -- Jackie Young dribbles the ball up the court as the final seconds in Game 4 of the WNBA Finals tick down on Friday night. She can do whatever she wants with it. The title is secure. Chelsea Gray runs to A'ja Wilson and jumps into the four-time MVP's arms. They hop and hug while the scoreboard makes it official and time expires. Young throws the ball into the air."
"The Las Vegas Aces are the 2025 WNBA champions. They defeated the Phoenix Mercury 97-86 and closed out the first best-of-seven WNBA Finals with a 4-0 sweep. Gray wraps Wilson in a bear hug. Now Young. Coach Becky Hammon pulls the much taller Wilson down to her. Aces fans who traveled to Phoenix celebrate by chanting "Aces, Aces" from their small but enthusiastic section in Mortgage Matchup Center. One fan waves a championship banner, the third for the Aces in the past four years."
