Lil Kim may have kept the Liberty in this series.

The 2023 WNBA Finals are currently underway and it has been a pretty lopsided series so far. The Las Vegas Aces have been dominant all season long (34-6). However, they are proving it in the biggest games and moments Coming into this matchup with the New York Liberty, the Aces never lost a postseason game. They waltzed through the first round versus the Chicago Sky and handled the Dallas Wings. It appeared they were on the brink of eclipsing a title a few days ago. But, not if rap legend Lil Kim had something to say about it.

Las Vegas went up 2-0 in the best-of-five series after throttling the visiting Liberty 104-76. However, with the ladies' backs against the wall in a win-or-go-home scenario they got it done. New York did so comfortably, extending the series at least one more game, 87-73. On top of keeping their title hopes alive, the Liberty secured their first Finals victory since 1999. Jonquel Jones and Breanna Stewart led the way with 27 and 20 points respectively. What might have given the women a spark in a tight contest at half was New York's own Lil Kim turning up the crowd.
