Mystics win big in Vegas

In the latest episode of the Locked On Women’s Basketball WNBA Podcast, host Ben Dull is joined by Sam Gordon of the Las Vegas Review-Journal to break down Thursday’s game between the Washington Mystics and the Las Vegas Aces.

Topics discussed in the episode include:

  • Elena Delle Donne’s big night and Washington’s continuity advantage offensively
  • the poor shooting night from the Aces backcourt
  • A’ja Wilson shooting with ease over the top of some of Washington’s post players
  • where the Aces can find balance, how much they need to hammer it inside and what might be different for Liz Cambage this season beyond joining a new team
  • the upcoming opponents for Vegas on this homestand and why they will challenge the team’s progress in an area that has been emphasized all season to date
  • what might be different when these two teams meet two more times next month in the span of nine days
  • a silver lining worth remembering as Dearica Hamby knocked down her first 3-pointers of the 2019 season
