Alysha Clark on what this Finals win meant for the Las Vegas Aces: โAll season, it was us vs. us.
We didnโt say a lot.
We read a lot! We heard a lot! We observed some real weirdo activities taking place online, the way some of you were talking about the Aces. We got receipts.
Legacy. Togetherness. Joy.
