WNBA

'This year is going to be harder than last year, and last year was hella hard,' coach Becky Hammon said as the Aces begin three-peat quest.

Game 4 of last season’s WNBA Finals was a fitting culmination of the title run, a closeout game that demanded contributions from the totality of the roster. It was also a reminder of how fleeting greatness can be.
