Las Vegas Aces vs. Seattle Storm Prediction
I’m on the Aces here. I just don’t see the Storm putting up enough of a fight to snap the Aces’ run right now as Las Vegas just looks like the Aces team that was expected to show up and be a contender from day one. Better late than never though, and I think that the Aces pour it on once again to get the series win and advance. Give me the Aces here.
