Expectations for fans weren’t sky-high heading into this one. In one corner, you have the league-best Las Vegas Aces who easily sport the best net rating in the league, evidenced by a three-game win streak. In the other corner, you have the worst team in the league with the second-worst net rating, and a four-game losing streak.
That said, the Lynx once again opened the game with a sense of urgency that we have often seen this season. It was clear the coach Cheryl Reeve got through to her team as far as cleaning glass after getting pummeled by the Seattle Storm in that department in their last defeat.
