Things to say
The Las Vegas Aces beat the Chicago Sky 98-90 in overtime.

Aces took it in OT, 98-90. Sky hung around way longer than they should've. Vegas just had too much down the stretch.
02
key player
NaLyssa Smith went off. 29 and 8, was getting buckets in the paint all night.
03
hot take
Sky are 6-14 and still pushed the Aces to overtime. That says more about Vegas than people wanna admit.
04
deep cut
Cardoso quietly grabbed 10 boards for Chicago. Kept them alive on the glass all game.
05
exit
Aces at 15-5 now, they're rolling. Curious to see if they keep it up next one.
The recap
Vegas needed an extra five to put this one away, but they got there, taking it 98-90 in OT. NaLyssa Smith was the whole show for the Aces, dropping 29 and grabbing 8 boards while the Sky just couldn't get a stop when it mattered.
Chicago hung around behind Skylar Diggins' 19 and Cardoso cleaning the glass, but once regulation ran out you could feel the L coming. Aces move to 15-5 and keep rolling.
