WNBA Streak Watch

Streak Watch: Las Vegas Aces Have Won 9 Straight (WNBA)

Published

Every result in WNBA feeds a streak somewhere, and a few of them have now grown big enough to deserve names. Everything below comes straight off the results; nothing fancier than counting.

There are six clubs carrying streaks of three games or longer at the moment, which tells you something about how streaky this stretch of the calendar has been.

The win-column crowd

The longest active run belongs to Las Vegas Aces: nine consecutive wins. Nobody stays hot forever, but while it lasts, every night has looked like a rerun of the same comfortable movie.

Behind them, Atlanta Dream have quietly won 7 in a row.

And Golden State Valkyries make it a crowd with 3 consecutive wins.

The skids

On the other side of the ledger, Toronto Tempo have dropped eight straight. Losing streaks carry their own gravity, the pressing starts, the bounces stop cooperating, and close games keep finding the same ending.

It is not much prettier for TBD, losers of 8 straight.

Seattle Storm round out the skid list at 5 in a row.

The board

For the record, here is everything currently running at three-plus:

TeamActive streak
Las Vegas Aceswon 9 straight
Toronto Tempolost 8 straight
TBDlost 8 straight
Atlanta Dreamwon 7 straight
Seattle Stormlost 5 straight

The fine print

A 9-game run is long enough that it stops being a footnote and starts being the lead, expect it to come up in every broadcast until it ends.

None of these runs are forever. Enjoy them as stories, count them honestly, and remember the results table starts blank again tomorrow.
