The Aces were dominant early this season, but after losing Candace Parker and two in a row to the Liberty, the team is looking for answers.
Liberty forward Jonquel Jones stops the ball from going out of bounds in the second quarter.
“We know we’re better when we play out of our defense,” Las Vegas coach Becky Hammon said. “Bottom line is, our defense has had some slippage in probably the last 10 games and New York’s defense has gotten better. I think before that, that was a separation factor for us.”Hammon acknowledged the primary challenge for her is figuring out how she can compensate for the loss of forward
in the post and forcing Las Vegas’ perimeter players to be on point with their shots. Though talented enough to beat good teams regardless, the Aces have yet to show they are capable of defeating an elite team like the Liberty. Parker’s absence is also being felt along the boards, where the Aces were dominated for the second straight time by New York. The Liberty outrebounded them by a 97-52 margin in the games, including holding Las Vegas to four total in the second half Tuesday.
