A’Ja Wilson, the league’s MVP, fought to keep the Aces alive, finishing with 19 points and 10 rebounds, but New York’s balanced attack proved too much for Las Vegas to overcome.
With the win, New York moves on to face either the Minnesota Lynx or Connecticut Sun in the WNBA Finals.
The Liberty will look to capture their first-ever championship, with the other semifinal series still locked at 2-2.
