Tiffany Hayes · The metaphorical bullseye attached to their black-and-silver jerseys may be invisible, but as the WNBA’s back-to-back champions, the Las Vegas Aces remain aware that every game, from No. 1 to No. 40, will likely include every team’s best shot. Thus, in battling a spirited Atlanta Dream group determined to begin the game on the right foot, the response was simple: change the game’s direction with left-handed daggers of their own. Showing the way, Tiffany Hayes tests her craftiness against Allisha Gray, using a hanging dribble to power her path to the rim before banking in an acrobatic off-the-glass finish. Hayes’ layup became the finishing touches in a double-digit win on August 30, 2024, kickstarting a four-game winning streak. In noticeable cohesion with her similarly-southpaw All-WNBA teammates, Hayes overwhelmed her former team with 20 points (including 10 in the opening quarter), alongside 10 rebounds — her most since 2016 — and two assists, one steal, and three 3-pointers. · State of Mint · State of Mint
