Las Vegas Aces vs New York Liberty Final Score & Over/Under Result — Aug 9, 2026

The 175.5 total proved light from the jump, as New York and Las Vegas combined for 39 points in the first quarter alone—setting a pace that would see the night finish at 182, an over by 6.5 points. The Liberty dominated the second quarter, combining for 50 points across both teams to push the halftime sum to 89, still tracking modestly under the closing line. But the fourth quarter became the deciding factor: 57 combined points in the final frame—the highest-scoring quarter of the night—delivered the decisive push over the number. DAGGER leaned over pregame, and it cashed.

New York's Marine Johannes led the way with 27 points and 3 assists, while Jonquel Jones chipped in 15 points and 8 rebounds to anchor the Liberty's 111-point output. Las Vegas countered with Ta'Niya Latson's 20 points and 4 rebounds and Mai Yamamoto's 16 points and 6 assists, but the Aces managed just 71 points—well short of their season average of 95.6 per game. New York's recent form (95.1 ppg over the last 10 games) proved enough to overcome Las Vegas, which had allowed 88.5 per game in that same stretch. The Liberty's 40-point margin of victory was their largest in the season series, having split the prior two meetings with combined totals of 203 and 178.
