The Las Vegas Aces visit the Connecticut Sun on Friday at Mohegan Sun Arena. It's their second meeting of the year with one more matchup left between the teams. The Aces bagged the bragging rights in the first game on June 21 behind an 85-74 win.
MVP favorite A'ja Wilson dropped 26 points and 16 rebounds, while Kelsey Plum had 18 points and four assists. It was a lopsided contest with the Aces taking a 17-point lead at halftime. The Aces have gotten better since then as they were only 8-6 before their midseason revival to stand at 21-12, fourth in the standings.
Meanwhile, the Sun have continued with their incredible run, posting the second-best record in the league (24-9). There's not much to separate the teams based on their post-All-Star break record, with the Aces going 5-4 and Sun 6-3.
