The Las Vegas Aces' longest remaining road trip of the season is off to a bad start.
The four-game trip started with losses on both ends of a back-to-back: 80-70 at Indiana on Thursday night and 109-78 at Minnesota on Friday night.
The Aces (12-13) will try to get back on track when they visit the Dallas Wings on Sunday afternoon before finishing the trip at the Los Angeles Sparks on Tuesday night.
They'll be doing so as they come off their most lopsided loss of the season, in which they allowed their most points.
'You get up the next day and you go to work and you keep teaching and you keep coaching and you keep encouraging and you keep trying,' Las Vegas coach Becky Hammon said. 'That's the only way I know how. You just go back to work and you correct them and you love on them hard and you just keep at it.'
Las Vegas, which got out-rebounded 48-30 by the Lynx, shot just 38 percent from the floor.
'We had a lot of open looks and we missed them,' Hammon said. 'Nobody's out there trying to miss shots.'
The Aces' loss to Minnesota marked the WNBA-leading Lynx's 14th win in as many home games this season, but the Wings (7-18) don't present the same challenge.
Dallas led host Golden State 21-10 after one quarter before getting outscored 76-55 the rest of the way in an 86-76 loss Friday.
'As a team, we need to continue to stay together through the runs of the game, through the runs of a season,' said rookie Paige Bueckers, who led four Wings scorers in double figures with 17 points. 'I think we all enjoy being around each other. We all want to win. We have to weather the storm of a long WNBA season.'
The Wings will be without Bueckers on Sunday. According to the Dallas Morning News, the team is resting the All-Star guard. Bueckers averaged 18 points, 6.5 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 2 steals against Las Vegas in two contests this year.
Dallas has lost five of its last six games and only last-place Connecticut has a worse record than the Wings.
