â–¶ What is the most obvious challenge each team will face?

Cole Huff: The most obvious challenge Las Vegas will face is scoring on Phoenix’s top-rated postseason defense. The Liberty and Lynx had top-five offensive ratings and were among the five highest-scoring teams during the regular season before running into the well-oiled machine that is the Mercury’s top-rated postseason defense. Phoenix held its semifinal opponents under 80 points twice in regulation and didn’t allow more than 73 points to its first-round opponent — Wilson and Jackie Young will likely need other Aces players to join the party offensively on a more consistent basis than against the Fever if they want to avoid being the latest offense to be handcuffed by the Mercury’s defense.
