Friday night’s WNBA slate is highlighted by a rematch of Wednesday’s game between the Las Vegas Aces and Dallas Wings. The Aces came back from down 14 to win by seven, 89-82, improving to 16-1 while the Wings fell just below .500 at 8-9.
To me, Dallas is the fifth-best team in the WNBA; remember, they’ll likely be even better when they get Diamond DeShields and Lou Lopez Sénéchal back. They have a phenomenal big three in Satou Sabally, Arike Ogunbowale and Natasha Howard, and as much height as you could ask for with Teaira McCowan and Kalani Brown both on the roster.
However, it has been a struggle for the Wings to maintain hold of fifth place. If they had held on to their comfortable lead on Wednesday, they would be in fifth right now and they can hardly be blamed for losing to the 16-1 Aces. But they need to do a better job of taking care of business against weaker teams. If they can steal one from the Aces Friday night at home, that would be huge.
