Seattle vs Las Vegas Preview

The Storm finished the regular season as one of the top five defensive teams in the “W”. However, that defense was noticeably absent in the opener against the Aces.

Seattle trailed 22-12 after the first 10 minutes of action and 45-25 at the break. As a result, the game’s outcome was never in doubt, as Las Vegas cruised to a dominating 102-77 victory.

Gabby Williams led the Storm with 16 points, three rebounds, and two assists. Skylar Diggins finished with 12 points, two rebounds, and two assists on 4-for-11 shooting from the field.

A’ja Wilson powered the Aces’ offense with 29 points, eight rebounds, three steals, and two blocked shots. Jackie Young put up 18 points, along with seven dimes, five boards, and four steals.

Can the Storm stave off elimination, or will Las Vegas advance to the semifinal round?

Storm vs Aces WNBA Pick

These Western Conference foes have faced each other five times this season. They split the season series 2-2 before Las Vegas took the opener.

The Aces are playing like a team that has won 17 straight contests. While Seattle will be more competitive on its home floor, look for Las Vegas to come out on top, albeit by a smaller margin than they did in Game 1.
