Stephen Nover's WNBA Tuesday Terminator
(WNBA) Connecticut vs. Las Vegas,
Point Spread: 4.00 | -110.00 Connecticut (Away)
Result: Win
Point Spread: 4.00 | -110.00 Connecticut (Away)
Result: Win
I didn't like Bill Laimbeer as a player and I don't like him as a coach. Las Vegas may have better talent than Connecticut. The Aces have the league's MVP, A'ja Wilson. But I don't trust Laimbeer, nor the Aces, to win this deciding Game 5 of this WNBA semifinal.
The Aces had to go all out this past Sunday to win Game 4 and force this deciding matchup. Connecticut didn't play a good game and Angel McCoughtry had the game of her life for Las Vegas shooting 13-for-22 from the floor for 29 points. I expect the Sun to play much better and don't believe McCoughtry can duplicate her Game 4 performance. She averaged 14.4 points during the regular season.
Connecticut has covered eight of the last nine times following a loss.
Las Vegas had all but one of its starters play more than 33 minutes on Sunday. Wilson played the entire game except for the final 26 seconds. The Aces had a strong bench during the regular season, but that's been considerably weakened without injured two-time Sixth Woman of the Year Dearica Hamby.
