Aces Aim for 11th Straight Win Against Struggling Sky

CHICAGO, Illinois — The Las Vegas Aces are on a hot streak, having won ten consecutive games as they face the Chicago Sky on Monday, Aug. 25 at 8 p.m. EDT at Wintrust Arena. The Aces boast a record of 24-14, while the struggling Sky sit at 9-27 after losing 14 of their last 16 games.

Las Vegas’ last victory came against the Washington Mystics, where star player A’ja Wilson shined with 36 points and 13 rebounds. Wilson has been a crucial player for the Aces, leading the team in points and rebounds and averaging a double-double this season. She has also shown her defensive prowess, blocking more than two shots per game.

The Sky are looking to bounce back from a recent loss to the Connecticut Sun, a game in which they fell 94-84. In that match, Kia Nurse led Chicago’s scoring with 19 points, while Angel Reese contributed with 11 points and 11 rebounds. Chicago’s poor performance has been attributed to injuries and turnovers, as they missed 11 free throws and committed 17 turnovers against the Sun.

Tonight’s matchup marks the first of three contests between the Aces and the Sky in just 15 days. Chicago’s coach, Tyler Marsh, seeks to find a way to exploit Las Vegas’ defense, especially through Angel Reese, who averages nearly 15 points per game.

Fans can watch the game live on NBA TV or stream it online using various platforms, some of which offer free trials. The Aces, sitting third in league standings, aim to continue their winning streak against a Sky team desperate for a turnaround.
