The Seattle Storm are welcoming the Las Vegas Aces in game 2 of their opening-round 2025 WNBA playoffs series on Tuesday, September 15. The series opener saw the Aces thrashing the Storm in a 102-77 game. MVP favorite A’ja Wilson led the charts with 29 points, eight rebounds, and two assists, and helped the team post their 17th straight victory.

The Storm, on the other hand, had their hopes high after finishing seventh in the standings. However, the Aces maintained a significant dominance throughout the game and led their opponents by as many as 32 points. The Storm tried to bounce back in the second half and trailed the Aces by just one point in the fourth quarter.

However, it wasn’t enough to get them into the game, and the Aces smoothly glided beyond the victory line. While their offense was pretty standard, the Storm put on a poor show in terms of defense and ended up giving 102 points as compared to 80.1 they gave during the regular season. However, the Nneka Ogwumike-led side is expected to have a better control of the court as action moves to their home in Game 2.

But, considering the formidable force that the Aces have been, the series is most likely to be wrapped up on Tuesday.
