Candace Parker has one more shot to lift her team back into the WNBA Finals. Parker and the Sky lost Game 3 of their semifinals series to the Connecticut Sun, which tied the series at 2-2. Now, both teams are set for a winner-take-all Game 5 tonight at 8 p.m. ET (5. a.m PT) on ESPN 2.

Whichever team comes away victorious will face the Las Vegas Aces in the WNBA Final. The top-seeded Aces closed out the Seattle Storm in Game 4 Tuesday after a monster game by Chelsea Gray. The loss for the Storm marks the end of the legendary 19-year career of Sue Bird, who plans to retire at the end of the season. She leaves the league with four championships and 13 All-Star appearances in a career played entirely with the Storm. 

While Bird can no longer achieve her storybook ending, the Aces are hoping that their season will conclude with their first championship. Will Parker propel the Sky back to the WNBA Final or will the Sun meet the Aces with the WNBA title on the line?
