In the Aces last loss to Connecticut, head coach Bill Laimbeer didn’t see effort from his starters. He got it tonight.

The Aces never trailed to the Dream in the game in a 92-69 win at State Farm Arena in downtown Atlanta.

Six Aces scored in double digits including Liz Cambage, who led the team with 15 points and added seven rebounds.  Cambage was still on a minute restriction, playing just over 19 minutes.

A’ja Wilson added 11 points, while Kayla McBride went 3 for 4 from the three-point line, scoring 13.

With the win, the Aces improved to 2-2 on the season heading into a game in New York against the Liberty on Sunday.
