**Young’s 25 Points and Loyd’s Last-Second Three Propel Aces Past Mystics 75-72: A Game for the Ages or Just a Really Long Commercial?**
In a thrilling showdown that had fans on the edge of their seats (and some on the edge of their snack tables), the Las Vegas Aces triumphed over the Washington Mystics 75-72, thanks to Kelsey Young’s 25 points and a last-second three-pointer from Jewell Loyd that had more drama than a soap opera finale.
As the clock ticked down, Loyd launched a shot that seemed to defy the laws of physics, gravity, and common sense. “I just closed my eyes and thought about all the pizza I could buy with my next paycheck,” Loyd said post-game, still in disbelief. “Turns out, pizza is a great motivator!”
Young, who was on fire all night, commented, “I was just trying to channel my inner superhero. I mean, if Batman can save Gotham, I can definitely save a basketball game, right?” When asked if she had any special powers, she replied, “I can eat an entire pizza in one sitting. That’s pretty super.”
The Mystics, on the other hand, were left scratching their heads and wondering if they had accidentally signed up for a yoga class instead of a basketball game. “We thought we were supposed to be meditating on the court,” said Mystics coach, Zen Master Yoda. “Turns out, we were just really bad at defense.”
As the final buzzer sounded, fans erupted in cheers, while some were just confused about whether they were watching a basketball game or a new reality show called “Who Wants to Be a Three-Point Champion?”
In the end, the Aces celebrated their victory with a pizza party, while the Mystics were left to ponder the age-old question: “What if we just played with our eyes closed next time?”
