The Seattle Storm and Las Vegas Aces crossed swords in Game 3 of their first-round playoff series at the Michelob ULTRA Arena on Thursday. It was a single-game elimination scenario, with the Aces having won Game 1 and the Storm roaring back with a thrilling victory in Game 2.
For Game 3, both teams stuck to their usual starting lineups. The Storm began with Gabby Williams, Brittney Sykes, Skylar Diggins, Ezi Magbegor and Nneka Ogwumike. The Aces’ starting five featured A’ja Wilson, Jackie Young, NaLyssa Smith, Chelsea Gray and Kierstan Bell.
The Storm picked up right where they had left off in Game 2, landing the first punch in a hostile environment. Skylar Diggins and Erica Wheeler combined for 10 points to help Seattle take a 19-14 lead into the second quarter. A’ja Wilson and Jackie Young scored six points each in the opening period for the Aces, but despite the duo’s efforts, the home team trailed after the first quarter.
Note: Scored will be added at halftime.
