The Las Vegas Aces look to bounce back from an 82-97 home loss to the Atlanta Dream on Tuesday, June 11, when they host the Connecticut Sun on Thursday night. A'ja Wilson scored 27 points and grabbed 14 rebounds in the loss, but the Aces were outplayed by Rhyne Howard (23 points) and Angel Reese, who recorded her league-leading 24th double-double. Head coach Becky Hammon was ejected in the first half, adding to a frustrating night. The Aces have already clinched a playoff spot and sit third in the Western Conference, making this a key game for seeding and momentum.
The episode breaks down the loss to Atlanta and what it means for the team's mindset, then previews the matchup against the struggling Sun, who are 9-25 and riding a five-game road losing streak. Doug and Carly discuss the need for a fast start, rebounding, and taking care of the ball, as well as the potential absences of Dana Evans and Brionna Jones due to injury. They highlight players to watch, including Kelsey Plum, who had a quiet night Tuesday, and Jackie Young, who dished out five assists. The hosts also examine the Sun's threats, such as DiJonai Carrington, and emphasize the importance of keeping Becky Hammon on the sideline after her ejection. They share keys to the game and bold predictions, with Doug expecting A'ja Wilson to go for 30 and 15 in a double-digit win, while Carly predicts the defense will hold Connecticut under 70 points.
This episode is perfect for Aces fans, also known as Aces Nation, who want an in-depth breakdown of the team's recent struggles and what to expect in Thursday's game.
