Las Vegas Aces 2021 season: 24–8, scoring 89.3 points per game and allowing 80.2 (+9.1 average margin) across 32 games. Updated August 16, 2026.
Scouting report
The Aces finished 24–8, 2nd in the league standings, with a +11.1 net rating that ranked 2nd of 12. They won at both ends: 1st in offensive rating and 2nd in defensive rating. They played fast, too — 1st in pace. Their calling cards were ball security (14.1 turnovers a game, fewest) and getting to the line (26.3 attempts a game, 1st); the soft spot, a lack of three-point volume (6.1 makes a game, 12th). Scoring was spread around — A'ja Wilson led at 18.3 a game, but no one accounted for more than 20% of the points, though the on/off numbers point to Jackie Young as the one they can least afford to lose — +18 per 100 possessions better with her on the floor. The high points: a 5-game winning streak (Jun 3–Jun 17) and a 36-point rout of the Fever on May 28. The lows: a 14-point loss at the Storm on May 15. They went 7–8 against teams at .500 or better. Bottom line: a legitimate title contender, and a thin three-point attack was the one thing that could trip them up.
