Las Vegas Aces star Kelsey Plum faced criticism from head coach Becky Hammon during their second consecutive loss to the New York Liberty in the WNBA playoffs. In a heated timeout, Hammon pointed her finger at Plum, who struggled on the court, as the Aces fell into a 2-0 series hole. Hammon expressed frustration with her team’s effort and lack of focus after the game. She highlighted their turnover issues and distractions off the court. This incident followed a previous verbal altercation between Plum and Spike Lee during Game 1 of the series. Plum downplayed the interaction with the famous director and expressed admiration for his support of the game. The Aces and Liberty are set to face off in Las Vegas for Game 3. Hammon’s strong coaching approach and critique of her team’s performance reflect the challenges they face in their quest for a three-peat WNBA title. The Aces will need to regroup and refocus to overcome the Liberty as they aim to keep their championship hopes alive.
