Las Vegas Aces 2020 season: 18–4, scoring 88.7 points per game and allowing 80.1 (+8.6 average margin) across 22 games. Updated August 16, 2026.
The Aces finished 18–4, 2nd in the league standings, with a +10 net rating that ranked 2nd of 12. They won at both ends: 2nd in offensive rating and 2nd in defensive rating. They played fast, too — 1st in pace. Their calling cards were ball security (15.2 turnovers a game, fewest) and getting to the line (28.2 attempts a game, 1st); the soft spot, a lack of three-point volume (5.1 makes a game, 12th). Scoring was spread around — A'ja Wilson led at 20.5 a game, but no one accounted for more than 23% of the points, though the on/off numbers point to Angel McCoughtry as the one they can least afford to lose — +12.4 per 100 possessions better with her on the floor. The high points: a 7-game winning streak (Aug 2–Aug 15) and a 30-point rout of the Dream on Jul 29. They never lost more than once in a row. They went 6–4 against teams at .500 or better and 4–2 in games decided by five or fewer. Bottom line: a legitimate title contender, and a thin three-point attack was the one thing that could trip them up.
