Miami's preseason prescription for more offense has been for speed and playmaking, and Nikola Jovic is filling the need for both. Plus, the numbers behind their quest for tempo and the early chemistry between Jakucionis and Ware. Notebook Vol. 96: www.nba.com/heat/news/co...

Becky got them gals up there crying.

Still need fans to stop being weird about my faves. Some of the tweets and skeets be so out of pocket.

This was a week. 2025 has been another adventure. Truly hope the rest of the year blows my mind in only positive ways.

No lie, I hope Terry Rozier has followed how Jewell Loyd got her mojo back.

Refs need to be better but the players need to be better. Review all 6 of Kah's fouls and the ref was right on each one. To make this result about the FT disparity is lazy.

We are witnessing one of the greatest career arcs EVER.

Arguably the best player in that NBA 2018 draft is Luka Doncic. He's made it to the Finals. 5x All NBA 5 x All Star WCF MVP ROY All Rookie MVP Candidate. Considered a top 5 talent in the NBA. His resume doesn't come close to hers and he'll be in the HOF if he retired today.

Deandre Ayton was the 1st pick in the 2018 NBA draft. He's gone to one finals made All Rookie.

Maybe I've gotten soft but I think he deserved to be ejected. He lost his mind for a few splits and the only thing he didn't do was hit the ref.

She's only been in the WNBA from 2018.

3 WNBA Championships 2 Finals MVPs 3 DPOYs 4 MVPs 5x Block Champ 2x Scoring Champ 5x All-Defense 6x All-WNBA 7x All-Star And she’s still only 29.

Legends aren’t born. They’re built 😤 A’ja Wilson is the first player in WNBA & NBA history to win MVP, DPOY, Finals MVP & a scoring title in a season 👏

Did A'ja just put together the most dominant season we've ever seen by a player? The answer is yes. #WNBA

So happy for Cheyenne Parker-Tyus and for Dana. Always happy when former Sky players get them some hardware.

For sure. They were really having a hard time putting the game before their emotions. I would be frustrated facing a sweep also, but composure can make or break teams under pressure.

I know the Tiktoks for B'aja are doing to go crazy.

They really said A'ja couldn't be the face of the league just a few years ago. Now the greatest to ever do it.

Them boos were so loud I started to feel bad 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The Las Vegas Aces are your 2025 WNBA Champions 🏆 This marks the Aces' 3rd title in 4 seasons! #WelcometotheW | WNBA Finals | YouTubeTV

One of the greatest turnarounds ever.

LUCK HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT 😤 THE LAS VEGAS ACES ARE WNBA CHAMPIONS AGAIN 🏆 🏆 🏆

Congrats to the Las Vegas Aces, your 2025 WNBA champions. Set the record for most wins in the WNBA Finals!

A Dynasty. #WNBA

A'ja Wilson is the first player to have three consecutive 25-point games in a WNBA Finals series. u.acrossthetimeline.com/stat-ehgvs

did someone shoot the rat out of a tshirt cannon or what

Las Vegas had one of the all time great turnarounds. Hope we get a documentary on this Aces season. #WNBA

Rebecca and Ryan are making it seem like these refs are unfairing Phoenix but all these techs have been warranted. It's disappointing that that's being ignored.

100% agree! #WNBA

Rebecca and Ryan spend all game questioning every single ref decision and when they are wrong they just say okay. Which is 95% of the time

Aces just see the fourth and say hold up. Let them get close.

Lol. They chirping

I'm sorry. Them trying to excuse Nate on this broadcast is crazy.

At the end of the second, Aces lead 54-38. A’ja Wilson leads all scorers with 14. Alyssa Thomas had 11 for the Mercury before walking off the court to the locker room with a possible shoulder injury.

And I don't care if the next season is in 2027 these players need to ensure they get paid livable pro athlete salaries in this next CBA. Let Adam and Cathy say whatever, it isn't personal it's business.

Phoenix put together a heck of a team. These injuries are unfortunate but I hope when the stories from this historic season are told their turnaround is part of it. The scouting to find some of these lesser known players who fit what they want to do is mad impressive.

HALF: The Las Vegas Aces lead by 16 points at the end of the second quarter over the Phoenix Mercury. Score is 54-38. The Aces are led in scoring by A'ja Wilson with 14 pts, 4 rebs while the Mercury are led in scoring by Alyssa Thomas with 11 pts, 5 rebs and 5 assts. #WNBA

One of the greatest competitors in W history. Really hope she can eventually get a chip but even if she doesn't she has willed THREE separate teams to WNBA finals and is all over the W record books.

I hate injuries in sports. And there's something especially awful about injuries in championship games.

I know people don't like Holly but sis is good at her jobs

The injuries to Satou and AT have been huge bummers.

Oh no AT. Hate to see that.

Copper outside of the first game has been pretty underwhelming

No way...

This one over tonight. #WNBA

Can't get over how teams continue to normalise KPJ being back in the league.
