Atlanta had three 20-point scorers and snapped Las Vegas' six-game home winning streak after Becky Hammon's second-quarter ejection.
- On Tuesday, Las Vegas Aces head coach Becky Hammon was ejected midway through the second quarter at Michelob Ultra Arena after arguing with officials regarding a no-call on a drive by Aces center A'ja Wilson.
