On the heels of a their 17-game wining streak being snapped, the Las Vegas Aces are in danger of seeing their season end on a two-game losing streak.
The Seattle Storm thundered back from a 14-point second-half deficit in Game 2 on Tuesday, Sept. 16, to create a winner-take-all showdown Thursday night on the Aces’ home court.
Seattle held Aces star A’ja Wilson scoreless over the final seven minutes and guard Skylar Diggins hit the clutch jumper in the final seconds to clinch an 86-83 win over No. 2-seeded Las Vegas and flip the series on its ear.
‘We weren’t scared to play against them,’ said Diggins, who finished with a game-high 26 points. ‘In the first game, we played hesitant. I was proud of the way we responded tonight and we had a great home crowd on our back to feed off.’
