Minnesota LynxvsLas Vegas Aces
MIN 97/LV 100
Things to say
Las Vegas beat Minnesota 100-97 at Michelob ULTRA Arena.
01
opener
Aces took it 100-97. Came down to the wire, both teams sitting at 10-3 now. Vegas just made the plays late.
02
key player
A'ja was A'ja. 24 and 10, double-double, ice in her veins down the stretch.
03
hot take
Honestly Minnesota should've won that game. They let Jackie Young run an absolute clinic, ten dimes and nobody picked her up.
04
deep cut
Rookie Olivia Miles dropped 29 on the road, the Lynx have something there. Kayla McBride only had 5 assists, that's the tell.
05
exit
Anyway, these two are gonna see each other again in the Finals, book it.
The recap
Aces took it 100-97 in a slugfest between two 10-3 squads, and A'ja Wilson was an absolute problem with 24 and 10 — straight buckets in the paint all night. Olivia Miles tried to steal it for Minnesota with 29, ice in her veins, but she didn't have enough help.
Jackie Young ran the show with a 10-dime night and hit the dagger down the stretch. Lynx took the L by three, but those two are gonna meet again and it's gonna be a war.
