Loyd's slow start has mirrored the team's. The Aces entered the game 4-4 and nearly lost to a Wings team with just one victory, even giving up an 18-point run at one point in the third quarter. Las Vegas rallied with Loyd a key piece even with reigning MVP A'ja Wilson out because of a concussion.

Four turnovers in the final 3:20 proved costly for the Dallas Wings and Paige Bueckers in an 88-84 loss to the Las Vegas Aces — who were without A’ja Wilson — on Friday night.
