00:03Big times in New York basketball coach which does include the WNBA and maybe a changing

00:07of the guard because we see the Liberty heading out west to take on the Aces.

00:11The Liberty with a commanding 2-0 series lead in the best of five.

00:15The FanDuel Sportsbook currently listing the Aces as two and a half point favorites tonight

00:18and a total of 165 and a half.

00:20Do the Aces live to fight another day?

00:23Oh, it's tomorrow?

00:24Yeah, Friday.

00:25There we go.

00:26Friday.

00:27Do they live to fight another day?

00:28Do they make it to Saturday?

00:29Good question.

00:30Yes.

00:31Yeah, good question.

00:32Yes.

00:33I thought the series was going four games from the jump.

00:37You saw the Aces play markedly better in game number two, losing 88-84, and they lost that

00:42game with basically Kelsey Plum being absolutely awful, but also Breanna Stewart, who was excellent

00:50in game one, reverted back to her form against the Aces, which she struggled.

00:56I think the Aces get a win in game three.

01:00I think the Liberty in four going in.

01:01I still think the Liberty in four, because at the end of the day, the player that's playing

01:05out of her mind has been Sabrina Ionescu, and I don't know who on the Aces can stop

01:10her.

01:11Tied a game-high 24 points to Ionescu alongside Asia Wilson, who, by the way, in both of these

01:18opening two games against New York, she has been held without a double-double.

01:24Just the fourth time since July that Asia Wilson has had consecutive games back-to-back

01:28without a double-double.

01:30Has to change tomorrow night inside Michelob Ultra Arena.

01:34As Donnie would tell you, a very difficult play for a road team to go in and get a win.

01:39The Liberty have covered in each of the opening two games as well.

01:42J.Y., we've got a split, though, in the other semifinal in the WNBA.

01:48Connecticut and Minnesota, the Lynx, who were the best team following the All-Star and Olympic

01:53break, came back to hold off Connecticut earlier this week.

01:58So now we will go to Connecticut with this series tied at a game apiece, and the Sun

02:02a slight two-point favorite tomorrow night, 151.5 is the total.

02:07What's the key matchup?

02:09Who takes the series advantage?

02:11You know what, Ben?

02:12The key matchup is the three-point line.

02:15Game number one, Sun shoot over 40% from three.

02:18Minnesota Lynx struggle, who are the best three-point shooting team in the league.

02:22What happens in game two?

02:23It flips, and then that's how we get a split.

02:25It's going to be as simple as this, the three-point line, who shoots it better, who defends it

02:30better.

02:31I think the Sun squeak on a really tight game.

02:33This has been a great series defensive matchup.

02:35This is go five games a series.

02:39WNBA Championship odds, of course, the Liberty in the WNBA Finals rematch from last year

02:44to hold that 2-0 series advantage, now nearly a $2 minus money favorite.

02:49It feels good to say a faint away to the break.

02:51We'll see you in a few weeks for NBA action.

02:55We'll see you in a few weeks for NBA action.

02:56We'll see you in a few weeks for NBA action.
