Aces seek 13th straight win: Have they found their championship formula?

The Las Vegas Aces are rewriting the WNBA record books and electrifying fans in the process. With every game, their winning streak grows—now at an impressive 12 straight after toppling the Atlanta Dream. It’s a run not seen since the Minnesota Lynx’s legendary 2016 season. In just a month, the Aces have rocketed from the eighth seed to the second, capturing the league’s attention with their dramatic turnaround. A'ja Wilson’s dazzling performances have reignited the MVP debate and restored the Aces’ reputation as true championship threats. With Wilson at the heart of their resurgence, the Aces are catching fire at the perfect moment—and the entire league is taking notice.

Interestingly, the Aces' turnaround seems to stem from their resilience following a devastating 111-58 loss to the Lynx, which marked the worst home defeat in league history. Since then, they have been playing at an elite level, with contributions from key players like Jewell Lloyd and Jackie Young bolstering their performance.

As the playoffs approach, the Aces are hitting their stride, and with a veteran roster averaging 28.4 years old, they are well-positioned for a deep playoff run. Despite a revamped lineup since their last championship, the team retains a competitive edge.

Tonight, they face the Lynx again, the team that handed them their last loss. This matchup is crucial, not only for the Aces' pursuit of a 13th consecutive victory but also for the MVP race between Wilson and Collier. The outcome of this game could provide significant insights into the capabilities of both teams as they head into the playoffs.
