The reigning WNBA-champion Las Vegas Aces suffered yet another postseason setback on Tuesday night, falling to the New York Liberty with a tightly-contested 84-88 final score in Brooklyn.
With this loss, the Aces now trail 0-2 as they head back to Las Vegas for Game 3 of their second-round series.
Point guard Kelsey Plum of Las Vegas had a poor game in the defeat, scoring only six points on 2/9 from the field and 2/5 from outside the three-point arc.
Along with her two rebounds and one assist, she also committed three turnovers. The All-Star point guard and Aces head coach Becky Hammon appeared to get into a heated argument during a timeout.
Social media users are taking notice of this exchange.
At a Tuesday night press conference following the game, Hammon gave an explanation for her ire. “I am so angry with them that I want to call a timeout. which, tonight, I did,” Hammon declared.
“I am not upset with the authorities. I am not upset with the Liberty of New York. I am upset with us.”
Hammon, Plum and the Aces will seek to keep the series and their postseason alive when they face the Liberty for Game 3 on Friday night.
