Top teams tussle in this weekend’s WNBA Commissioner's Cup showdown, as No. 1 Minnesota travels to Las Vegas on Saturday to take on a No. 2 Aces team nipping at its heels.
Even without sidelined star Napheesa Collier, the 10-2 Lynx are off to a breakout season behind top-scorer and Rookie of the Year shoe-in Olivia Miles.
“She’s special,” Minnesota coach Cheryl Reeve said of the No. 2 draft pick. “We’ve had, obviously good teams, legendary teams, but it’s a different time now.”
Las Vegas is charting a similar course, carrying a five-game winning streak into the weekend as four-time MVP A’ja Wilson leads the league with 25.8 points per game.
Veteran point guard Chelsea Gray has been in vintage form, after tying the single-game record for made 3-pointers in Thursday’s win over Portland.
“Our trust is something we have been growing forever,” Wilson said of her on-court chemistry with Gray. “Our trust, our communication — just the kind of person Chels is.”
