The Las Vegas Aces look strong under new head coach Becky Hammon, defeating the Phoenix Mercury and Los Angeles Sparks in convincing fashion to lead the league standings. The reigning champion Chicago Sky find themselves toward the middle of the pack, and the New York Liberty round out the bottom of the association as of Saturday.
