Las Vegas won its second consecutive WNBA title Wednesday night, capping an eventful year of soaring heights and a few lows.

Las Vegas can become the first team in more than 20 years to win back-to-back WNBA championships.

Las Vegas plays a near-perfect first quarter, weathers a Liberty rally in the second, then dominates the second half to cruise to a 104-76 win.

Jonquel Jones’s early days with the Liberty were rough. But with New York in the WNBA Finals, that’s all in the past.

The team will be controlled by the NBA’s Golden State Warriors and begin play in 2025, the WNBA announced Thursday.

The Midshipmen started fast but lost, 44-30, in Annapolis.

Washington guard Natasha Cloud backed up her brash talk with a career-high 33 points but it wasn’t enough as New York swept the best-of-three series.

The Mystics are overwhelmed in the second half, failing to find an answer for Sabrina Ionescu, who finished with a game-high 29 points that included seven three-pointers.

As the Connecticut Sun opens the WNBA playoffs Wednesday night, Alyssa Thomas arrives as a do-everything star who is rewriting the record books.

Natasha Cloud found Brittney Sykes for the winning basket and a 90-88 win in New York. Game 1 of the teams’ first-round series is Friday.

The loss locked Washington into a first-round WNBA playoff series against the New York Liberty or the Las Vegas Aces.

The Mystics beat the Mercury, 100-77, to secure a spot in the postseason.

The 36-year-old guard is an emotional leader for the Mystics, who will feel her absence as the playoffs approach.

Kristi Toliver suffered a knee injury, and Washington couldn’t clinch a playoff spot thanks to a 72-64 loss to the Sparks.

The Mystics are playing with their full roster as they embark on a road trip that will help decide their playoff seeding.

In a game pivotal to its playoff positioning, a finally healthy Washington squad posted an 83-72 win at Entertainment and Sports Arena.

The Mystics played like a team with something to prove in their opener, handling one of the WNBA’s title favorites, 80-64.

Saturday marked the first day of athletic events since Monday’s shooting on campus that killed three Michigan State students and critically injured five.

Diamond Miller helped the Terps erase an 11-point first-half deficit (and then some) as they dominated the third quarter.

The Mystics moved into fourth place in the WNBA with Tuesday’s 83-73 victory.
