Las Vegas Aces

This is the type of hustle and synergy that breeds champions. A month before they celebrated the franchise’s first title, the Las Vegas Aces showcase the gritty selflessness that it takes to scale the mountaintop. Following a missed shot by two-time MVP A’ja Wilson, the Aces get busy, with Kiah Stokes keeping the possession alive by crashing the glass in traffic. Kierstan Bell slingshots out of bounds to tip a loose ball into the hands of Chelsea Gray, who threads the needle between two defenders back to Wilson underneath for the and-one conversion. Four Aces touch the ball in a manner of seconds, working in harmony to secure a 97-90 victory over the Atlanta Dream on August 9, 2022.
