New York Liberty defeats Las Vegas Aces 87 -77 in WNBA Finals rematch.

Liberty leads series 1 -0 in best-of-five series, but Aces have only lost one playoff game since August .

Liberty's Big Three: Breanna Stewart , Sabrina Ionescu , Jonquel Jones and A'ja Wilson combined for 68 points.

Aces will need to find ways to set up Wilson to get her production back at MVP level.

Las Vegas doesn't have a viable way to match up with New York's Stewart and Jones .

The Aces need to score more than 77 points in order to avoid an 0 -2 start.

Plum was outstanding Sunday with 24 points, but Young needs to be more of a factor too.
