A marquee Wednesday night matchup between two teams jockeying for playoff position. The Aces came into these two back-to-back matchups with the Lynx 2.5 games back of the third seed in the standings. It was a huge game for both teams that had massive playoff seeding implications. The Lynx looked to continue their hot streak coming out of the Olympic Break and stave off Las Vegas while the Aces wanted to make up ground quickly on Minnesota.
The Lynx started the game with the Courtney Williams-Napheesa Collier two person game working early.
