In a thrilling start to the WNBA playoffs, the Las Vegas Aces defeated the Seattle Storm 78-67 in Game 1, led by A'ja Wilson who scored 21 points after recently being awarded her third MVP title. The Aces displayed a strong defensive performance, particularly in the fourth quarter, limiting the Storm to just two points and sealing the victory. The Storm, missing key player Ezi Magbegor due to a concussion, struggled offensively, especially late in the game. While the Aces aim for a historic three-peat, the Storm hope to regroup as they start their postseason campaign on the road.
