Impressive road victory for the Lynx beating the Aces, 98-87, this past Wednesday.

But I'm not ready to write off the two-time defending WNBA champion Aces. Las Vegas is 2 1/2 games behind Minnesota for first place in the Western Conference. So this is a huge game for the Aces and not just for revenge purposes.

The Lynx shot 59.4 percent from the floor, while making 11 of 19 shots from 3-point range in Wednesday's victory. Courtney Williams had a season-high 22 points. She averages 10.5 points.

I don't see a repeat of that. The prideful Aces are healthy. They still have the best offense in the WNBA leading the league in scoring, field goal percentage and free throw percentage. The Aces just need to tighten their defense. They did that earlier in the season in their first meeting at Minnesota beating the Lynx, 80-66.

That was the Aces' third straight victory at Minnesota. All of the victories have been blowouts.
