Hammon sees Aces consistency as final step

Aces consistency remains the next step for Becky Hammon after Las Vegas beat New York 104-99. The Aces handled defensive changes, answered late pressure and showed progress without leaving their coach fully satisfied.

Ace’s coach Becky Hammon did not leave Thursday’s win satisfied.

Las Vegas beat New York 104-99, handled several defensive changes and survived another late push. Still, Hammon focused on what must come next.

“We have the talent. We have the competitiveness. We have the character,” Hammon said. “Now we’ve got to get that last C, which is consistency.”
