Game Storylines
Aces Seek Redemption After Historic Loss
The Las Vegas Aces are reeling after suffering the worst home loss in WNBA history, a 111–58 blowout against the Minnesota Lynx. Coach Becky Hammon called the performance “Grade F,” and the team will need a quick turnaround to avoid back-to-back collapses. A’ja Wilson, who leads the team with 21.6 PPG, 9.0 RPG, and 2.3 BPG, will be key to restoring order. The Aces are 8-8 in Western Conference play and have split their season series with Golden State so far.
Valkyries Riding Three-Game Win Streak
The Golden State Valkyries are surging, winning three straight games and posting a 3-1 mark on their current five-game road trip. Despite missing Kayla Thornton (knee) and Monique Billings (ankle), the Valkyries have leaned on Veronica Burton and Iliana Rupert, who combined for 32 points in Friday’s win over Chicago. Golden State leads the Western Conference in rebounds per game (36.2) and averages 9.5 made 3-pointers per game, a key edge over Las Vegas.
