The Las Vegas Aces will continue their five-game road trip with a stop at Uncasville for a clash against the Connecticut Sun. Sunday’s game will mark the third meeting this season between the two, with A’ja Wilson & Co. leading the season series 2-0.
The teams first faced off on May 20 at the Mohegan Sun Arena in front of 8,000+ supporters. While Tina Charles recorded an impressive 20-point outing, she did not receive enough help from her Sun teammates to topple the Aces. Wilson and Jewell Loyd combined for 42 points, leading their side to an 87-62 win.
Nearly a month later, the Aces and Sun faced off again at the Michelob ULTRA Arena with the result looking a lot like the first. Charles once again led Connecticut with 18 points on 7-of-17 shooting, but it wasn’t enough. Wilson and Jackie Young each contributed with 20+ points, fueling an 85-59 blowout win for Las Vegas on their home floor.

But despite their dominance against the Sun, Becky Hammon’s Aces have had trouble finding their rhythm this season. The Aces are struggling in eighth place with an 8-9 record and have dropped games to several sub-.500 teams, including the LA Sparks, Washington Mystics and Indiana Fever.
Meanwhile, the Sun are enduring a tough campaign with a 2-15 record, putting them on pace for the worst season in franchise history.
