The Liberty will have home-court advantage in the Finals , which open Thursday .

The Aces will face the winner of Tuesday 's decisive Game 5 between the Minnesota Lynx and Connecticut Sun .

New York Liberty beat Las Vegas Aces 6 -1 in the WNBA Finals last season .

A'ja Wilson was the MVP of the season, but the Aces didn't have it shooting-wise.

The Liberty and Aces met 9 times last season , including the regular season , Commissioner's Cup final.

The Aces' front office might need to identify some younger players to bring it as role players.

The Sun shot 53.7% from the field in Game 4 , by far their best of this series.

The Lynx will have the obvious edge at Target Center , but the Sun already have a win in Minneapolis in Game 1 .
