By 9 a.m. back home, the Las Vegas Aces had scored 71 — yes, 71 — points on the New York Liberty and it was only halftime. It was three points fewer than the Liberty's total, 108-74, a strong showing for an Aces team that has defensively dropped into an abyss the last two weeks.

It's a benefit to both sides. For summer camp programmers, it's a fun field trip to use for both their camp goers and employees. It's a perk that can break up the week and offers campers something they may never have the chance to do, either because of finances or family preference. Parents might not have the means to take their family to an outing. Most might not think of taking them to a WNBA game.
For WNBA teams, that's exactly why they want to bring in those campers. They're at the perfect age to grow into fans and hopefully watch more games in the future. They might tell their friends and families about the day or ask for team gear as gifts, which in turn promotes the game and grows fandom. In a league still fighting for TV time and media coverage at all, it's a smart move.
But it has to fit into the day of a summer camp. There are some day camps that end as early as 3 p.m. local time. Others might go as late as 5 p.m. In terms of the game at Barclays, it ended around 1 p.m. local time. It takes time to get kids on the busses and make sure everyone is accounted for and then there's travel time to get them back to camp for pick-up.Obviously it's not as fun of a time for the players since their pre-game routines are screwed up by early tipoffs.
