The defending champions Aces (1–1) rebounded from their sluggish opener with a dominant 87–62 win over the Sun. A’ja Wilson came alive with 22 points and 10 boards, and Vegas found some rhythm from deep, shooting 38.5% from three.
Washington (2–1), meanwhile, is reeling from a heartbreaking 76–74 loss to the expansion Valkyries, despite Brittney Sykes’ 30-point explosion. They’ll need a quick bounce-back in what is arguably the toughest road trip in the league.
