It’s the same starting five as last season when the Las Vegas Aces won their first WNBA championship.
Even without those players, the Aces set league records with 34 victories, 11 100-point games and 25 double-digit wins. They also led the WNBA in offensive rating and defensive rating .
The lack of depth, however, did catch up with the Aces during one late-season stretch. They lost four of seven games over a 14-day span, though the defeat to the New York Liberty in the Commissioner Cup Championship didn’t count in the standings. “It might get a little tighter on the rotation depending on what the game calls for,” coach Becky Hammon said. “But if you look, we don’t have anybody in the top 10 in minutes played. We have heavy minutes, but there are so many games they did even play , so load management I feel like we’re OK and, obviously, the spaced-out days will definitely help us.”
They meet three times during that stretch where the Aces stumbled, and the Liberty won twice to potentially expose some Las Vegas weaknesses.
