LA Sparks vs LV Aces Game Summary
The LA Sparks vs LV Aces duel started with the visitors hoping to get a surprise win against the best team in the league. They did put on a fight against the Aces, but the defending WNBA champions held off in a hard-fought matchup to get the second win of the season.
Despite shooting a combined 51.5% from the field, 9% more than the Aces, the Sparks couldn’t do a lot of damage. The Aces took advantage of the long shots (41.9% against 35.7% of the Aces) to secure this win.
Los Angeles saw Rickea Jackson turning into an unexpected hero, scoring 13 points off the bench, trying to help Dearica Hamby and her 29 points that almost upset the Aces.
Cameron Brink played her second WNBA game, and although she couldn’t score more than three points, the No. 2 overall pick contributed in other areas of the game. Brink grabbed eight rebounds and blocked five shots, but her offense wasn’t there today. She barely made one shot in seven attempts from the field and couldn’t make any of her two three-point attempts.
The Aces remain the team to beat in the league after escaping this game with the dub. Four of their five starters scored in double digits and showed up at the right moment when the Sparks tried to take over the game in the final seconds.
