Las Vegas Aces End Regular Season With 16 Straight Wins, Secure No. 2 Playoff Seed

Las Vegas Aces Close Regular Season on Fire: 16 Straight Wins

The Las Vegas Aces finished their regular season with a bang, ripping off their 16th consecutive win to close the year as one of the hottest teams in WNBA history. Last night’s victory wasn’t just another notch in the streak — it sealed the No. 2 seed in the upcoming playoffs, giving Vegas a prime position to chase another title.

A’ja Wilson led the charge yet again with her signature inside dominance producing 23 points and 19 rebounds, while Jackie Young (17 pts), Chelsea Gray (15 pts), Nalyssa Smith (10 pts), and Jewell Loyd (21 pts) continued to show off the balance and depth that has defined this run. The Aces’ defense clamped down from the opening tip, forcing turnovers and converting them into transition points, while the offense hummed with crisp ball movement and high-efficiency shooting.

This streak has reestablished the Aces as the powerhouse everyone expected when the season began. Heading into the postseason, the combination of top-tier star power and role-player contributions makes them a nightmare matchup for any opponent.

Playoff Preview: Aces vs. Storm

Next up for Las Vegas is a first-round playoff series against the Seattle Storm, with Game 1 at home this Sunday. The Aces’ torrid finish to the regular season means they hold home-court advantage in the series — a major weapon given how electric Vegas can be, especially in the playoffs.

Seattle comes in scrappy, with a league high 4 All-Stars including star Nneka Ogwumike, who brings leadership and plenty of bite. But the Storm will have to contend with an Aces team playing its best basketball of the year.

Expect the opening game to set the tone: if Wilson continues her MVP-level dominance and the supporting cast stays hot, Las Vegas could put Seattle on its heels early. A fast start in Game 1 would give the Aces a huge edge in this best-of 3 series and keep their momentum rolling right into a potential championship push.
