Either Las Vegas or Seattle is the best team in the WNBA.
But a funny thing happened to the Aces on their way to the WNBA Finals: They got ambushed by Connecticut in Game 1 of their semifinal series. This wasn't just an upset by the Sun, but a huge butt-kicking. Las Vegas lost in embarrassing fashion, 87-62, as 6-point favorites.
The Aces had been idle for a week. They came into that Game 1 on Sunday overconfident based on their 18-4 regular season record and plenty rusty. It showed.
I don't expect that to be the case again. The Aces should assert their superiority led by league MVP A'ja Wilson.
Las Vegas has not lost two in a row all season. The Aces are 8-1 ATS when playing with one day's rest.
Jasmine Thomas shot lights out for the Sun in that opening series game scoring 31 points on 13 of 18 shooting from the field. Thomas averaged 10.2 points during the regular season.
Afterward Wilson was quoted as saying the Aces needed to get slapped in the face like that and "...The best thing about this loss is there's a lot of things we can control, and that's what we're going to do."
