Las Vegas Aces Even Record In Road Victory Before Tonight's Home Opener vs Mystics

Aces Bounce Back with Commanding Win Over Connecticut

After a challenging season opener against the New York Liberty, the Las Vegas Aces showcased their championship pedigree with a decisive 87–62 victory over the Connecticut Sun on Tuesday night. This win improved their record to 1–1 as they head into their home opener.

Reigning MVP A’ja Wilson led the charge with 22 points and 10 rebounds, marking her 101st career double-double. Jewell Loyd contributed significantly, adding 20 points on an impressive 6-for-9 shooting from beyond the arc. Jackie Young and Chelsea Gray also made double digit contributions, scoring 16 and 12 points respectively.

The Aces established dominance early, initiating the game with a 9–0 run and maintaining a strong lead throughout. This performance not only marked their first win of the season but also demonstrated their resilience and ability to adjust following a tough loss.

Home Opener Tonight: Las Vegas Aces vs. Washington Mystics

Tonight, the Aces will host the Washington Mystics at home, with tip-off scheduled for 7:00 PM PT. This game marks the Aces' first home appearance of the season.

The Mystics enter the matchup with a 2–1 record, coming off a narrow 76–74 loss to the Golden State Valkyries. Brittney Sykes has been a standout performer for Washington, averaging 26.3 points and five assists per game. However, the Mystics will be without key players Georgia Amoore and Aaliyah Edwards due to injuries, which could impact their performance against a formidable Aces lineup.

The Aces are the favorites especially after getting back on track Tuesday. As tonight, A'ja Wilson will not only look to extend her season opening run of double doubles, but also lead the team to another win as they aim to build momentum early in the season.
