The Las Vegas Aces needed their entire team to pitch in during a tight 89-86 win<\/a> in Game 1 of the WNBA Finals. Dana Evans and Jewell Lloyd each dropped at least 18 points off the bench to will the team to a huge win over the Phoenix Mercury.<\/p>\n

The Mercury, meanwhile, were left wondering how they let Game 1 slip away. The team led most of the way, but couldn’t finish off the tough Aces. Despite shooting 39 percent on 3s, the Mercury somehow gave away the game.<\/p>\n

If the Mercury are going to turn things around Sunday, they’ll need to do it on the road, down 1-0 \u2014 a familiar position for them throughout this postseason<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It won’t be easy, especially considering the Aces employ MVP A’ja Wilson. But if Game 1 was an indication, these are two evenly-matched teams. The Mercury will be out to prove that’s the case in Game 2.<\/p>\n
