LAS VEGAS — It’s playoff basketball and New York Liberty head coach Sandy Brondello knows her team can, and has, played better than its Game 1 WNBA Finals loss to the Las Vegas Aces.

Michelob Ultra Arena sold out its three potential games almost immediately after the Liberty clinched their spot last week. The 10,300-capacity arena is one of the loudest in the WNBA and bellowed while fans whipped white towels as the Aces hit 60% of their shots in the third quarter to take a lead as large as 22 points.

James’ Los Angeles Lakers play the Brooklyn Nets in an NBA preseason game on Monday night in Las Vegas. Members of the Nets, who share a team owner with the Liberty, were also in attendance for the game.
