On September 25, the first round of the WNBA playoffs, the second game, the Aces will continue to host the Storm at home.

In the regular season, the Aces achieved a record of 27 wins and 13 losses, ranking fourth in the league with an average score of 86.4 points per game and conceding 80.9 points per game, with a home record of 13 wins and 7 losses. The Storm ranked fifth in the league with 25 wins and 15 losses, averaging 83.2 points per game and conceding 78.8 points per game, with an away record of 11 wins and 9 losses.

This season, the two teams met four times in the regular season, with the Aces achieving a record of three wins and one loss. Two days ago, the Aces and the Storm played a roller-coaster game in Game 1. The Aces scored only nine points in the first quarter but crushed the Storm in the final quarter with a 14-2 run after Wilson’s explosive performance in the second half.

The Aces started low but finished high with four players scoring double digits. Wilson contributed 21 points, eight rebounds, and five blocks, Hayes contributed 20 points and five steals, Gray had seven assists, and Jackie Young scored 12 points and grabbed seven rebounds. In contrast, the Storm’s core player Lloyd shot only 2-of-8 for six points in the final quarter, while Diggins scored 16 points and eight assists, Williams had 14 points and eight rebounds, Ogwumike contributed 13 points and 10 rebounds, and Hosten scored 10 points.

During the regular season, the Aces performed slightly better than the Storm, largely due to the outstanding performance of their leader Wilson. This key player of the U.S. women’s basketball team averaged 26.9 points, 11.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.8 steals, and 2.6 blocks per game during the regular season, breaking the WNBA single-season scoring and rebound records and being unanimously elected as the MVP, with impeccable personal performance.

Plum can contribute an average of 17.8 points and 4.2 assists per game, Jackie Young averages 15.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 5.3 assists, while Gray averages 8.6 points and 4.9 assists. Hayes, who was named the best sixth player of the regular season, averages 9.5 points.

The Storm is a team with significant differences between home and away games. Their top scorer Lloyd averages 19.7 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.4 steals per game. Ogwumike averages 16.7 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.9 steals per game, Diggins averages 15.1 points and 6.4 assists, Magbegor averages 11.7 points and 8 rebounds with 2.2 blocks, and Williams averages 10.3 points.

Whether in the regular season or in the previous Game 1, the Aces playing at home have demonstrated stronger hard power. Both teams can field full squads for this game. If the Storm wants to drag the series to Game 3, they need to perform even better, and the performance of their core player Lloyd will be crucial.
