In a matchup that saw them trailing early to the No. 5-seed Seattle Storm, it was the Aces\u2019 championship pedigree and fourth-quarter defensive shutout that propelled them to the much-needed win. The back-to-back champs are one win away from advancing to the semifinals, and getting another step closer to history.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"EDKw6r\"><strong>Answering the call<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"e-image\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Dallas Wings v Las Vegas Aces\" data-mask-text=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/LBhz6bnbGAG_B-Tal9XnWye24ks=\/400x0\/filters:no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/25636834\/2172282619.jpg\"><br \/>\n      <cite>Photo by Ian Maule\/NBAE via Getty Images<\/cite><figcaption>Tiffany Hayes (#15) of the Las Vegas Aces brings the ball up the floor.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"JQYSsM\">The playoffs are the ultimate sink-or-swim situation; it all comes down to these games. What separates good teams from great teams is having players who can show up at any given moment and be the much-needed boost to secure valuable wins within a series. <\/p>\n<p id=\"L1kX6Z\">In Game 1, that was Tiffany Hayes\u2019 role, and she played it as well as you could\u2019ve imagined, perfectly displaying her veteran experience. In a game that had the Aces looking slow at the jump, Hayes rose to the occasion, providing a valuable 20 points, four rebounds and one assist off the bench. She inserted a much-needed battery in the Aces\u2019 back and kept them from falling into a 0-1 series hole, where a chance of elimination awaited on the other side. The questions now are: Can Hayes do it again? Will the Aces need her to?<\/p>\n<div id=\"pbe67W\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-dnt=\"true\" align=\"center\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Tiffany Hayes tonight  <\/p>\n<p>\u2022 20 points <br \/>\u2022 5 STEALS<br \/>\u2022 66% FG <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/9ek5KTnsk3\">pic.twitter.com\/9ek5KTnsk3<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Women\u2019s Hoops Network (@WomensHoops_USA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WomensHoops_USA\/status\/1838068960106828215?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 23, 2024<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"vtY9eU\"><strong>Defense wins games<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"e-image\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Seattle Storm v Las Vegas Aces - Game One\" data-mask-text=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/dNpmKnnRfL6saJbpoMs6DyV1Csw=\/400x0\/filters:no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/25636879\/2173899956.jpg\"><br \/>\n      <cite>Photo by Ethan Miller\/Getty Images<\/cite><figcaption>Kelsey Plum (#10) of the Las Vegas Aces dives for the loose ball in game one versus the Seattle Storm.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"fTKPJg\">The Storm came out of the gate looking unstoppable in Game 1, until the Aces woke up from their extended pre-game nap and showed exactly why they are a top-five defense in the WNBA (and have the two-time defending <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swishappeal.com\/wnba\/2024\/9\/13\/24237885\/wnba-defensive-player-year-award-lv-aces-aja-wilson-minn-lynx-napheesa-collier-con-sun-alyssa-thomas\">and possibly back-to-back-to-back DPOY<\/a>). They held the Storm to a nearly scoreless fourth quarter; Seattle connected on a staggering zero field goals, with their only points coming off of two free throws in the entire quarter, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/alexaphilippou\/status\/1838072922952417334?s=12\">tying the WNBA record for fewest points in a quarter of a playoff game since 2006<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p id=\"9jYkln\">In Game 2, the Aces\u2019 assignment is the same: contain the Storm\u2019s offense through an emphasis on defense. <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mbgqcm\"><strong>Can the Aces bring out the broom?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"e-image\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"2024 WNBA Playoffs - Seattle Storm v Las Vegas Aces\" data-mask-text=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/cSYlB3VCFO2cqZF6oWERwZlBrSI=\/400x0\/filters:no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/25636893\/2173231595.jpg\"><br \/>\n      <cite>Photo by Barry Gossage\/NBAE via Getty Images<\/cite><figcaption>A\u2019ja Wilson (#22) of the Las Vegas Aces before tip-off.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"y4ZNgk\">Yes, they can. <\/p>\n<p id=\"yAbfwj\">If Vegas can manage to string together a better offensive showing, combined with an even half-as-good defensive showing, then it\u2019s extremely likely that the Aces will be awaiting their second-round opponent (likely <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sbnation.com\/e\/24016449\">the No. 1-seed New York Liberty<\/a> in a rematch of the 2023 WNBA Finals) sooner than later. <\/p>\n<p id=\"JQ90rY\">Seattle will come out with a vengeance in Game 2, but if the Aces can tap into their championship identity and force the Storm to play with their backs against the wall, the chances of a sweep are pretty high. It will require every player in black and silver to step up, but if anyone can do it, they can.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"p-entry-hr\" id=\"2jNjVW\">\n<h2 id=\"K1XJVK\"><strong>Game
