Fifth consecutive victory for the Aces of Becky Hammon, and fifth victory of more than 15 points!
By winning 98-81 against the Minnesota Lynx, the defending champions tied the series of the Phoenix Mercury in 2014 and 2021, as well as that of the Seattle Storm in 2020.
Above all, it is their 21st success in 23 meetingsthe best start in WNBA history, tied with the Houston Comets in 1998 and the Seattle Storm in 2010. Data that illustrates the domination of Las Vegas over this regular season in the WNBA, even though Candace Parker has been absent for several games…
But with their effective offensive play behind Jackie Young (19 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists), Kelsey Plum (16 points), Alysha Clark (11 points) and Chelsea Gray (11 points, 11 assists), the Aces had no trouble dominating the Lynx, especially with A’ja Wilson at this level of play.
The double MVP thus compiled 35 points at 14/17 shooting, as well as 14 rebounds. Disgusting for opponents…
