Las Vegas Aces vs Connecticut Sun Game Summary

The Las Vegas Aces and the Connecticut Sun, teams that lost their season-opening games, clashed on Tuesday. A’ja Wilson's team looked to bounce back from a 92-78 loss to the New York Liberty on Saturday. They entered the showdown against the retooled Sun as the heavy favorites.

Las Vegas came out of the gate intent on dominating the paint, which it did. The Aces made 6 of 9 shots within three feet and shackled the home team to take a 24-13 lead after one quarter.

The second quarter followed the same storyline, but the Aces varied their attack. Instead of pummeling the Sun inside, they went out to do damage, hitting 5 of 10 3-pointers to push their advantage to 52-29 at halftime.

Connecticut's 1-for-9 shooting from deep and 10 turnovers were the biggest reasons it fell behind after two quarters.

The third quarter followed the same first-half script where the Aces had utter dominance. Connecticut had no answer to Las Vegas' assault, particularly from the Aces' starting five. The 81-46 advantage entering the fourth quarter allowed Becky Hammon to use her second stringers to finish the game.

Las Vegas wrapped up the game before the final frame started and cruised to an 87-62 win.
