00:03 >> Hefty favorite in Las Vegas's way.
00:06 They do win in their title defense 89-80.
00:10 Huge night for Asia Wilson, 30 points, 13 boards, and
00:14 yet they do not cover as that 16 and a half point favorite.
00:18 How did the title defense start in your estimation last night in Vegas?
00:22 >> Yeah, I mean, the biggest thing is that you could really miss Chelsea Gray not
00:25 being on the floor there.
00:26 So hopefully she's back for the Aces sometime soon being that point guard
00:30 kind of leading the floor.
00:31 But all credit to Phoenix for keeping it as close as they did until the Aces pulled
00:35 away in the fourth quarter without BG.
00:38 They don't really have a backup big to kind of help and
00:40 that also kind of became obvious down the stretch when they couldn't really finish
00:44 it out.
00:45 But this is an interesting one because Asia had a great game.
00:50 She's not really in her full season form yet.
00:52 So she's coming for her things.
00:53 This offseason was incredible for her obviously publishing her book.
00:57 We got the news of the shoe.
00:59 She's just getting better and better.
01:00 She's coming for that MVP this season after kind of being snubbed last year.
01:05 And I think the Aces just always have a way to kind of fuel the fire and
01:09 they to me remain in that top tier above everybody else.
01:13 So as long as everybody's healthy when Chelsea's back,
01:15 I think you're gonna see what this team is really gonna look like and
01:18 props to Phoenix.
01:19 They're still kind of figuring things out but
01:21 all things considered not a bad way to start against a defending champs.
