The Las Vegas Aces are the hottest team in the WNBA — and it’s not even close. Since being crushed by 53 points at home by Minnesota on August 2, they’ve flipped a switch. Now riding a 14-game win streak, they sit at 28-14 with sights set on the No. 2 seed and a tie with the 1998 Houston Comets for the third-longest winning streak in WNBA history.

Now locked into the No. 5 seed, they’ll face the Phoenix Mercury in the first round — a team they haven’t beaten this year. This final home game against Washington offers a critical chance to rediscover their flow. The trio of Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu, and Jonquel Jones has rarely shared the floor this season. When they have, the Liberty are undefeated at 11-0. Stewart dropped 24 in the latest win over Seattle, but Jones has scored just 13 points across her last three games. If they can get Jones going and hopefully see Ionescu return from her toe injury, this team
