Atlanta Dream vs. Las Vegas Aces Game Summary

One of the five games scheduled for Tuesday is the Atlanta Dream vs. Las Vegas Aces matchup at the Michelob ULTRA Arena in Paradise, Nevada. The Dream entered the game coming off a win over the Golden State Valkyries, while the Aces were on a seven-game winning streak.

Dream coach Karl Smesko stuck with his starting lineup featuring Allisha Gray, Rhyne Howard, Maya Caldwell, Naz Hillmon and Brionna Jones. Brittney Griner has been coming off the bench to provide an instant spark on offense.

On the other hand, Aces coach Becky Hammon went with her starting five of Chelsea Gray, Jackie Young, Kierstan Bell, NaLyssa Smith and A'ja Wilson. Jewell Loyd has looked more comfortable in her new role as the first player off the bench.

The game was quite close the entire time. The Atlanta Dream took the momentum in the third quarter by outscoring the Las Vegas Aces 21-16. However, the hosts turned it up defensively in the final period.

The Aces limited the Dream to just 11 points in the fourth quarter, with A'ja Wilson hitting the go-ahead shot with about a minute left to give Las Vegas the 74-72 lead. Atlanta failed to make a basket, but they were still given one final chance with under 10 seconds to go.

Rhyne Howard had a clear look and tried a floater to tie the game, but it missed as the Aces recovered the ball and earned the hard-fought win.
