The Aces make 11 of their first 12 3-point attempts, open a 20-point lead after one quarter and tie a WNBA record with 18 3-pointers in a 104-76 win.
The new-look Sparks continued to experience the growing pains that have hounded them so far this season, taking one on the chin on Monday night in Las Vegas, where they were pummeled by the Aces, 104-76.
Prior to tipoff at Michelob ULTRA Arena, Sparks coach Derek Fisher credited Becky Hammon, the Aces’ new head coach, for bestowing a sense of offensive freedom in Las Vegas, where her players have picked up the pace of play and their volume of 3-point attempts – philosophies aligned with the type of play currently in style in the NBA.
“How many 3s did they make?” Sparks guard Jordin Canada asked postgame. “Yeah, 18 3s. That’s exactly what it felt like. Playing its sixth road game in seven games this season, L.A. grabbed a short-lived 4-0 advantage. But then eight quick points by A’ja Wilson – including the Aces’ first two 3-pointers, more than the 2020 WNBA MVP had all of last season – made it 8-4.“We can’t let go of the rope that much,” Fisher said.
