Minnesota Lynx vs Las Vegas Aces game summary

It was yet another loss for the Las Vegas Aces, who will look to go back to the drawing board. The other teams have realized that containing their offense that's without Chelsea Gray can stifle them on that end of the floor. Despite A'ja Wilson's MVP-caliber run, the hosts took another trouncing.

On the other hand, the Lynx have gone from strength to strength and a healthy win on Tuesday sees them as early playoff favorites.

The Aces will need to regroup to break their three-game losing streak. Up next, they hit the road for their Commissioners Cup matchup against the Phoenix Mercury, followed by a three-game homestand that starts against the New York Liberty. The challenge only gets tougher for the Las Vegas Aces and only time will tell if they can bounce back to get their fledgling campaign back on track.
