Clark County Commisioner Eric Naft released the following statement just moments after the Aces won.
“What an incredible end to a historic season,” said Clark County Commissioner Michael Naft, in whose district the Aces play. “This team worked hard all season. Their talent and dominance gave the Aces the first repeat WNBA championship in 21 years and the winningest season in WNBA history. Like all Southern Nevadans, I am incredibly proud of our two-time, world champion Las Vegas Aces. It’s been remarkable to watch and I look forward to Monday’s victory celebration.”
The City of Las Vegas posted a video of "We are the Champions" playing at Container Park downtown in wake of the team's late night victory.
