Aces win three straight, roll into FIBA World Cup break with momentum
LAS VEGAS – The Aces are halfway there.
The Las Vegas Aces delivered a dominant performance in their first three games of the pre-FIBA World Cup schedule, securing a three-game sweep over the Toronto Tempo. This run of victories comes after recent defeats against Minnesota and Atlanta. Head coach Becky Hammon noted that while the team features familiar faces, they are a different unit compared to last season.
The Aces improved to 27-13 on the season, bolstering their position in the league standings. Four-time MVP Aja Wilson led the team with 27 points and eight rebounds, while Jackie Young contributed 23 points, four rebounds, and eight assists. The Aces' defense also played a crucial role, committing only seven turnovers compared to the Tempo's 16.
With the upcoming FIBA World Cup break, the Aces are focusing on maintaining their chemistry and focus, with Cheyenne Parker-Tyus set to fill in for the injured NaLyssa Smith.
