The Las Vegas Aces will look to recover from one of their most worst offensive performances of the season when they host the Los Angeles Sparks on Sunday evening.
After scoring 28 points in the first quarter on Saturday, Las Vegas scored eight, 15 and 16 points over the next three en route to a 79-67 defeat against the New York Liberty.
The loss was the second straight for the Aces (16-9), who went into the Olympic break with a 93-85 setback vs. the Chicago Sky on July 16.
Both losses were at home.
Wilson, who led Team USA to the gold medal in Paris, returned to WNBA action with 24 points and 11 points against the Liberty.
No other Las Vegas player managed more than 13 points, however.
Las Vegas will aim to regroup against the Sparks (6-20), whose losing streak reached three games with a 90-86 defeat to the Sky on Saturday.
The Sparks held a double-digit-point lead in the fourth quarter but were outscored 26-12 in the final frame en route to falling for the 13th time in 15 games. Saturday’s defeat followed a 103-68 blowout loss on Thursday to New York.
Miller cited Los Angeles’ struggles with physicality inside the lane and on the glass, which included Chicago crashing defenders down on Dearica Hamby. The Sparks’ season-long leading scorer at 18.5 points per game finished with just seven on Saturday.
