The Seattle Storm will face off against the Las Vegas Aces as the WNBA Commissioners Cup kicks off this Sunday. Unlike traditional tournaments, games played in this competition contribute to the regular season standings. Western Conference teams will compete in six games, while the Eastern Conference, which has six teams, will play only one game each. The top team from each conference will meet on July 1st for a single championship game.
These teams recently clashed just a week ago, with Seattle (3-3) securing a commanding 102-82 win. Forward Nneka Ogwumike led Seattle with 23 points, and Erica Wheeler added 21 points coming off the bench. Although A’ja Wilson of Las Vegas (3-2) achieved a double-double, Seattle dominated by shooting 60% from the field and controlling the boards.
