WNBA Streak Watch
Streak Watch in WNBA: Las Vegas Aces at 8 and Counting
Published
Streaks are the league's pulse. You can read the whole mood of WNBA off who keeps stacking wins and who cannot find the exit, and this morning's board, counted straight from the results table, has some runs worth talking about.
Count them up and four teams are currently on streaks of at least three, so there is no shortage of momentum stories to argue about.
Riding high
The longest active run belongs to Las Vegas Aces: eight consecutive wins. Nobody stays hot forever, but while it lasts, every night has looked like a rerun of the same comfortable movie.
Atlanta Dream are building a case of their own at 6 straight.
The skids
Toronto Tempo cannot find the exit: eight consecutive losses and counting. The schedule keeps coming regardless, which is either mercy or cruelty depending on the next opponent.
Seattle Storm are on a slide of their own at 5 straight losses.
By the numbers
For the record, here is everything currently running at three-plus:
| Team | Active streak |
|---|---|
| Las Vegas Aces | won 8 straight |
| Toronto Tempo | lost 8 straight |
| Atlanta Dream | won 6 straight |
| Seattle Storm | lost 5 straight |
Worth remembering
The longest run on the board sits at 8 games, and runs that size have a way of bending a whole week's storylines around them, every broadcast, every pregame note, every nervous manager quote.
A streak is history with good posture: impressive to look at, honest about the past, silent about tonight. Markets know this, which is why streaking teams get funny prices.
One to circle: Las Vegas Aces meet Indiana Fever in their next game, and we will find out quickly whether this stretch travels.
