Aces Win 15th Straight, Tie No. 3 All-Time WNBA Streak as Loyd Reaches 6,000

A win in Los Angeles would clinch the No. 2 seed with home-court through the semifinals.

Overview

  • Las Vegas routed Chicago 92-61 to improve to 29-14 and push its franchise-record run to 15 games.
  • Jewell Loyd became the 16th WNBA player to reach 6,000 career points, scoring 15 off the bench on five threes.
  • The streak ties the 1998 Houston Comets for third-longest in league history, trailing the 2001 Sparks (18) and 2014 Mercury (16).
  • The Aces can lock the No. 2 seed by beating the Sparks or if Atlanta loses at Connecticut, and they own the tiebreaker over the Dream.
  • Cheyenne Parker-Tyus debuted for Las Vegas with eight points in eight minutes, while Chicago’s Angel Reese was out with a back injury following a recent team suspension.
