Efficiency Report
New York Liberty: Offensive Rating 112.2, Defensive Rating 104.6, Net Rating +7.6. The Liberty average 89.1 points, 35.6 rebounds, 21.1 assists and 14.6 turnovers per game. Their pace profile sits around 79 possessions per game, with strong half-court scoring, quality ball movement and a three-point volume built around Stewart, Jones, Sabally, Fiebich and Ionescu.
Las Vegas Aces: Offensive Rating 112.7, Defensive Rating 107.2, Net Rating +5.5. The Aces average 90.1 points, 35.7 rebounds, 23.3 assists and only 12.6 turnovers per game. Las Vegas has the cleaner turnover profile, the stronger assist production and the most efficient interior scoring force in the matchup with A’ja Wilson.
The key difference is ball security. New York has more turnover risk, while Las Vegas is generating more assists with fewer mistakes. Rebounding is nearly even, but the Aces’ recent shooting form was elite in the Golden State win. New York’s path is tied to three-point efficiency and limiting empty possessions after giving away 16 turnovers against Los Angeles.
Game Summary
This is a heavyweight WNBA matchup between two efficient offenses. New York brings elite spacing, multiple frontcourt scorers and a deep lineup, but the Liberty are coming off a blown lead and a buzzer-beating loss. Las Vegas enters with momentum after a dominant defensive showing and a high-efficiency shooting performance.
The Aces have the advantage in current form, assist-to-turnover profile and home floor. The Liberty need a cleaner closing stretch, better defensive resistance at the rim and a more stable game from Sabrina Ionescu to offset Las Vegas’ Wilson-led interior pressure.
The Pick
New York Liberty: Offensive Rating 112.2, Defensive Rating 104.6, Net Rating +7.6
