LAS VEGAS — The Sun won the opening tip of Tuesday’s Game 2 and forward Alyssa Thomas made a layup just nine seconds later. But never for the duration of the contest was Connecticut able to stretch its lead beyond the opening deuce. Las Vegas’s sellout crowd of 10,211 people roared throughout the.
Plum said she welcomed Wilson’s comments and that she appreciated the belief from Wilson, the rest of her teammates and the coaching staff. The Aces proved hard enough to guard in Game 1, with Plum struggling from the field. But her punch, combined with 47 points between Wilson and Gray, resulted in an overwhelming offensive effort.
The Aces scored 23 first-quarter points on 50% shooting from the field, and held the Sun to merely 15 points on 35% shooting. But what made Las Vegas’s lead even more convincing was how it scored in the first 10 minutes, with 14 of its points coming in the paint. Connecticut, on the other hand, had just six.
Miller said after the loss that his group is focused on playing a better first quarter when the series flips back to Connecticut. Though Wilson, too, acknowledged the importance of playing a strong first period on the road. “If we can keep our mindset and composure in the first quarter and set the tone, it's helpful for us later on down the road,” she said.There were moments in Game 2 when the Sun appeared to push the Aces.
