Give the Dream credit, Iโve never seen the Aces play this poorly and they got beat in Atlanta, 78-74. Both teams are now 4-2 on the season, with the Dream hosting Connecticut Sunday at 3 ET. It wasnโt pretty by any means - with LV only hitting 36.2 FGs and ATL connecting on 36.1
FINAL Atlanta Dream (4-2) - 78 Las Vegas Aces (4-2) - 74 Aces fall in Atlanta for the first time since Sep. 5, 2019. Aces are in Dallas (3-3) on Wednesday to wrap up the road trip. The Wings nearly upset the undefeated Connecticut Sun tonight, falling 74-72.
