The Las Vegas Aces are on a historic pace heading into the second half of the season and have shown no signs of letting up.
With 19 wins in their first 21 games, the Aces sit atop the WNBA standings and have the top offence and defence in the league.
"Just staying focused on what we've been doing up to this point," point guard Chelsea Gray said. "Trust in each other, playing for each other and with each other and just having fun doing it. We never take anybody for granted."
Gray, one of four Las Vegas players in the all-star game over the weekend, said despite the Aces' record, the WNBA is a lot more competitive then it's been in recent years.
Las Vegas is seeking to become the first repeat champion since Los Angeles in 2001 and '02. Before the playoffs, the Aces can make a run at the best record in league history — the 29-5 mark posted by Phoenix in 2014.
"We are all so competitive that we just challenge each other every day," Aces guard Kelsey Plum said. "There's no letup on this team."
