LAS VEGAS—It was a clash of the ****** ans at Michelob ULTRA Arena on Saturday, and the electric atmosphere made it clear how palpable the anticipation for this matchup was.
On one side, the Las Vegas Aces, a dynasty in the making with three championships in four years spearheaded by arguably the greatest player the game has ever seen in A'ja Wilson. Opposite them were the Minnesota Lynx, the best team in the WNBA and a contender hoping to taste success for themselves with the lethal 1-2 punch of Napheesa Collier and Olivia Miles.
With the recent success of both teams, this is the WNBA's heavyweight main event playing out on the hardwood.
In the end, the Lynx were the team that was built to last, building a lead in the second half to help hold off the Aces 90-84.
Despite the result not going the way they wanted, though, Aces head coach Becky Hammon was encouraged by at least some things she noticed throughout the game.
