Sheryl Swoopes advises A’ja Wilson to take Breanna Stewart’s feud personally. The WNBA Finals witnessed a surprising momentum change in Game 3 on Sunday. The New York Liberty rekindled their finals hope, while the Aces were denied their second consecutive crown, which was only one win away. This season’s Finals Five series was greatly anticipated, not because of the “two super teams” of the WNBA but because of the battle between A’ja Wilson and Breanna Stewart following the historic MVP dispute.
