Portland FirevsLas Vegas Aces
POR 83/LV 98
Things to say
The Las Vegas Aces beat the Portland Fire 98-83 at home.
01
opener
Aces handled business, 98-83. Never really felt close after halftime. Portland hung around early but Vegas just had too much.
02
key player
A'ja Wilson went for 28 and 14, another double-double. She's the best player in the league and it's not close.
03
hot take
Portland's a nice story but they're not built to win in that building. Vegas ate them up in the paint all night.
04
deep cut
Rookie Megan DiLeo dropped 20 for the Fire though. Kid can get buckets, at least there's something to build on.
05
exit
Anyway, Aces are rolling at 19-8. Playoff seeding's basically theirs to lose.
The recap
Vegas handled business at home, taking down Portland 98-83 behind another monster night from A'ja Wilson. Wilson went for 28 and 14 and just ate them up in the paint all game, with Chelsea Gray running the show and dishing 7 dimes.
Portland got 20 from Megan DiLeo but never really had an answer for the Aces once Vegas pulled away. The Fire drop to 11-17 while the Aces keep rolling at 19-8.
