The Las Vegas Aces and Seattle Storm squared off in Game 2 of their first-round playoff series at Climate Pledge Arena on Tuesday. The Aces entered the matchup on a 17-game winning streak, including a lopsided victory in Game 1 at home. With their season on the line, the pressure was firmly on the Storm to respond.

In terms of starting lineups, the Aces opened with A’ja Wilson, Jackie Young, NaLyssa Smith, Chelsea Gray and Kierstan Bell. Meanwhile, Seattle countered with Gabby Williams, Nneka Ogwumike, Ezi Magbegor, Brittney Sykes and Skylar Diggins.

Riding that momentum, Las Vegas soon stretched its lead before the Storm answered back. Nneka Ogwumike shouldered the offensive load for Seattle, scoring 11 points in the first period, but A’ja Wilson’s eight-point quarter helped the Aces take a 22-21 lead into the second.

Both teams refused to give an inch in the second quarter as the action remained highly competitive. The Aces and Storm each scored 23 points in the period, with A’ja Wilson leading all scorers with 16 points and Skylar Diggins pacing the Storm with 15. At halftime, the Aces held a slim 45-44 lead.

The Aces blew the game open in the third quarter, taking a 69-61 lead into the final period. Nneka Ogwumike’s 24 points were the only thing keeping the Storm in the game, but momentum was firmly with Las Vegas heading into the fourth quarter.

The final period saw the Storm deliver a spirited performance, playing like a team with everything to lose. Skylar Diggins led the offense as Seattle scored 25 points, while the team’s suffocating defense limited the Aces to just 14. The contest went down to the wire, with the Storm edging out an exhilarating 86-83 victory to keep their season alive.
