As they broke their second quarter huddle, forced to channel their switch-flipping, championship-winning superpowers slightly earlier than expected, the Las Vegas Aces orchestrated their blink-of-an-eye comeback through a familiar format: an unmatchable pace and the unrivaled efficiency to match. A powerful energy source from the moment she checked in, Sydney Colson offers an example, backpedaling into open space for an outlet before slinging a length-of-the-floor dime to her teammate for a transition score. Colson’s impact couldn’t have been more pronounced as she helped diagram a 14-4 run that helped flip Las Vegas’ 16-point first quarter deficit into a lead by halftime. Through a memorable role in the Aces’ historic quarter — in which they broke a WNBA single-quarter record by shooting 10-of-10 from deep — Colson helped conquer the Phoenix Mercury for a much-needed win. The spare key that ultimately revved Vegas’ offensive engine to life, Colson recorded eight points (all during a three-and-a-half minute span) alongside two boards, three assists, and a +11 plus-minus during the history-filled matchup on June 13, 2024. · Jun 14, 2024
