Aces spark Dana Evans made her way to the line to go 1-for-2 for her first time at the line of the second half to give the Aces a 10-point lead with under 3 minutes left in the third quarter.

With 50 second left in the third quarter, Jewell Loyd came up big with a three-pointer to add to the Aces lead, 73-58.

In the fourth quarter, the Aces continued their consistent play. Jackie Young and Jewell Loyd took over to start the quarter. Loyd went straight to the charity stripe after drawing the foul. Jackie Young went straight at the hoop and drew the foul on the next play.

Jackie Young came down the lane with a floater, A’ja Wilson followed with a big block on DiJonai Carrington.

Jackie Young led the Aces, scoring 24 points, 3-for-3 from the charity stripe, went 8/11 from the floor, and dished out 8 assists. The Aces did much better shooting from the floor this game, shooting 48.6% from the floor and 41.7% from three-point range.

The win was Aces coach Becky Hammon’s 100th win as head coach. In the post-game presser, Aces coach Becky Hammon said, “I think it was, one of the toughest things is going through hard things and remaining optimistic.”

“A good all around team win,” Hammon continued.
