Aces 93, Lynx 87: Not Enough Powers to Fold Aces

Less than 48 hours after notching their first win of the season, the Minnesota Lynx arrived to Michelob ULTRA Arena to take on a Las Vegas Aces team who have been starting the season on fire, boasting the best offensive rating in the W. The Aces, now led by former San Antonio Stars legend and recent San Antonio Spurs assistant coach, Becky Hammon, came out of the gates firing like a team that no longer had to play an archaic non-three-point-shooting offense. An 11-2 Aces lead was quickly whittled down due to the offensive contributions of Aerial Powers, who’s shooting splits were at career-lows entering the game, and rookie Evina Westbrook, who’s outstanding play on both ends continued.
