Let's be honest: looking at the recent games and seeing the Sparks have won two of three while the Aces have dropped two straight, you might think the Sparks are back. Take a closer look: Las Vegas lost 104-95 to defending champion Chicago in a game where they blew a 28-point first half lead and then fell in overtime to Washington. The Aces are a deep, explosive offensive team that can bury you in the blink of an eye. Meanwhile, even though the Sparks have won two of three, they are still just 5-8 overall this season while the Aces are 13-4. Las Vegas hasn't missed a beat under Becky Hammon and have downed the Sparks eight straight times, including triumphs by 28 at home and by 17 on the road earlier this season. The Aces run their dominance of Los Angeles to nine as they dominate in the City of Angels.
