Since Caitlin Clark’s WNBA Draft with the Indiana Fever, the interest surrounding the league has increased severalfold. While the ladies are grabbing more attention, things are getting more competitive on the court. The same happened during the game between Atlanta Dream and Las Vegas Aces.
During the game’s final quarter, Dream guard Aerial Powers got into the face of the Aces’ Jackie Young. This came after Dreams took the lead by 2 points after making a late comeback.
As things got chippy, referees and other players intervened to separate the duo. Powers walked away and continued trash-talking while hyping the crowd.
By the end of the night, the Atlanta side got the dub to hand the Aces their second defeat of the season.
Aces Suffer Second Loss of Season
The Aces had a bright start to the season with back-to-back wins in the opening two games against the Phoenix Mercury and LA Sparks. The Phoenix side handed the Aces their first loss of the season in their third game. Friday night’s loss to the Dream was the Aces’ second loss of the season despite A’Ja Wilson’s game-high 28-point performance.
The center went 12-27 from the field while cleaning the board 9 times and dished out 3 assists. Kelsey Plum added 19 points from 33.3% shooting and Jackie Young chipped in with 15. Plum reached the 400 3-pointer mark during the game as she went 3 of 12 from beyond the 3-pts arc.
