The super team Las Vegas Aces continue to roll over their WNBA competition. They ended the season’s first half with a dominant victory on the road over the L.A. Sparks, 97-78. The Aces did what they’ve done all year and established their dominance, leading by as many as 29 points and never trailing.
All-Star captain A’ja Wilson was her superstar self, ending the night with 25 points and scoring a whopping 16 during the opening frame. The All-Star break couldn’t come soon enough for L.A. as the team continues to suffer from key injuries to starters Lexie Brown, Layshia Clarendon and Chiney Ogwumike. The hope is these players can return to the team after the break and help the Sparks clinch a playoff berth. For Vegas, the break will be a celebration as it has four players who made the All-Star Game.
