Las Vegas AcesvsDallas Wings
LV 87/DAL 95
Things to say
Dallas beat Las Vegas 95-87 at home.
01
opener
Wings took down the Aces 95-87 last night. Dallas just looked like the hungrier team start to finish. Vegas never really found a rhythm.
02
key player
Jessica Shepard went full point-forward — 22, 20, and 10. A triple-double with 20 boards? That's a clinic.
03
hot take
A'ja had 21 but the Aces are not the Aces right now. Something's off in Vegas.
04
deep cut
NaLyssa Smith quietly grabbed 12 boards off the bench and Vegas still got out-rebounded by Shepard alone.
05
exit
Anyway, we'll see if Dallas can keep it rolling — they're 5-3 and starting to look real.
The recap
Dallas took down Vegas 95-87 and the whole thing was the Jessica Shepard show — she dropped a 22-10-20 triple-double, just an absolute clinic on the glass and feeding teammates all night. A'ja had her usual 21 and Chelsea Gray was dishing dimes, but the Aces just couldn't keep Shepard off the offensive boards in the paint.
Wings move to 5-3 and Vegas takes the L, dropping to 4-3. When you let one player grab 20 rebounds, you're not winning that game.
