The WNBA hasn’t seen an opener this big since its very first Finals in 1997. The Aces’ three-point win in Las Vegas drew 1.9 million viewers on ESPN, up 62% from last year, peaking at 2.5 million. ‘WNBA Countdown’ averaged 626,000 ahead of tip-off. Viewership numbers for Sunday’s Game 2 haven’t been released yet. The Aces lead 2–0 as the series heads to Phoenix for Game 3 tonight at 8pm ET, a strong signal of momentum for the league during one of the busiest stretches in sports.
