With the NHL Awards Wednesday night, the Golden Knights hope to take home some hardware. Now, they’re nominated for even more awards.
With the Golden Knights now in the offseason, the Statue of Liberty has switched allegiances for the Las Vegas Aces’ inaugural season, donning a no. 18 Aces jersey.
A’ja Wilson had 25 points and 15 rebounds and the Las Vegas Aces pulled away in the fourth quarter to beat the Seattle Storm 87-77 on Tuesday night.
The Las Vegas Aces have already lost to Seattle twice this season, and allowed a WNBA record 17 3-pointers in their last meeting.
The Aces (3-9) went toe-to-toe, er bucket-for-bucket, with the visiting Phoenix Mercury for the better part of four quarters, but wilted in the final minutes and stumbled to a 92-80 loss at Mandalay Bay Events Center.
Youth can be a exasperating quality for those who coach professional sports, and yet Laimbeer has in the Las Vegas Aces a team that strikes a similar resemblance to those of his previous WNBA stops.
The Aces host the Phoenix Mercury at 5 p.m. Sunday at Mandalay Bay Events Center, with the game televised on ATT SportsNet.
Elizabeth Cambage had 28 points and a career-high 18 rebounds, Skylar Diggins-Smith added 20 points and six assists and the Dallas Wings beat the Las Vegas Aces 77-67 on Friday night.
The Aces are 2-1 on their four-game trip and will try to end it with a victory over the Wings, who defeated Las Vegas in the preseason.
Dearica Hamby scored 17 points and Kayla McBride 16 to lead a balanced offense in the Aces’ 78-63 victory over the New York Liberty on Wednesday night.
A’ja Wilson scored 17 of her 35 points in the fourth quarter and overtime, helping the Las Vegas Aces beat the winless Indiana Fever 101-92 on Tuesday night.
Diana Taurasi scored 25 points, Brittney Griner had 19 points, 15 rebounds and seven blocked shots and the Phoenix Mercury held off the Las Vegas Aces 72-66 on Sunday.
The Aces (1-6) begin their four-game, eight-day road trip with a doozy of an opponent, against whom they’ll try and reverse their fortunes.
