I think Connecticut avenges its 77-70 loss to Los Angeles with a double-digit win tonight at Mohegan Sun Arena.

The Sparks took a long time to shake loose from a bad Liberty team this past Tuesday.

Liz Cambage made her debut in the Las Vegas starting lineup tonight.

She was on a minutes restriction tonight.

Laimbeer said she would play 20 minutes or so.

Las Vegas scored the game's first 10 points.

Atlanta did not get on the board until the 5:59 mark of the first quarter.

Atlanta's Renee Montgomery hits a three-ball to cut the lead to 19-5.

P.A. announcer at State Farm Arena tries to start a chant of "Let's Go Dream."

The chant doesn't catch on.

Halftime score: Las Vegas 49 Atlanta 25.

And to think Atlanta head coach Nicki Collen was named 2018 WNBA Coach of the Year.

Her team is a mess this season.

Stacked roster for the Las Vegas Aces.

They will get better as the season progresses for three reasons: 1) Laimbeer 2) Will take time to incorporate Cambage into the offense and 3) With the league's deepest roster, practice time for the Aces will be tremendously productive.

Final score: Connecticut 89 Los Angeles 77.

The Sun shot 31% last Friday night in a 77-70 loss to the Sparks at Staples Center.

Tonight, the Sun shot 46% from the field in an 89-77 victory.

Chelsea Gray (Sparks) and Shekinna Stricklen (Sun) play a similar style to Golden State's Draymond Green.

All five Sun starters finished in double figures.

Head coach Curt Miller is a thinking man's coach.

L.A.'s coaching staff: Derek Fisher, Fred Williams and Latricia Trammell.

It appears head coach Fisher and assistant coach Williams are deferring to Trammell's experience in women's basketball.

During breaks in the action, Trammell is doing most of the talking.

She's the only coach on the staff with a winning record but I doubt she knows what she's doing.

Part of her bio: Trammell was the head coach at Oklahoma City when the Stars lost an exhibition game to a Brittney Griner-led Baylor team.

Big deal.

The Sparks are in trouble.

Nneka and Chiney Ogwumike finished a combined 17-for-22 from the field for 40 points.

Solid efforts from the sisters.

The rest of the team combined to go 12-for-44 from the field.

Not good.
