The Olympics have ended, the United States brought home gold and WNBA basketball is back. Life is good. The brief period of the WNBA’s best players being teammates to achieve a higher goal was beautiful to see, but now it’s back to the grind, and teammates are now opponents who are all going for a common goal: a WNBA championship. Are the Aces still the favorite to three-peat? Or, are recent struggles creating concern? Are the Aces still primed to make history?
Half and half
The Aces have had a bumpy resumption to the season by dropping three of their first five games, with all three losses by double digits. And an A’ja Wilson game-winner kept them from nearly dropping a fourth. Despite the bumps, the Aces have claimed two wins and remain a top-five team in the league with roughly a month left in the season.
The big question remains: Does Vegas have enough gas to make three straight rings?
