About this episode

The Las Vegas Aces' offense has been virtually unstoppable for most of the season. And while the team (and, in particular, reigning league MVP A'ja Wilson) have been lighting it up on the court, they’ve also been having a ton of fun off it. Today, The Athletic’s Chantel Jennings joins us to discuss the Aces' unique blend of offensive firepower, team chemistry, and TikTok dance parties -- and to break down what else is happening in the WNBA as the regular season wraps up and the playoff picture starts to emerge.

Read Chantel Jennings' full story about the Las Vegas Aces:
