The Aces won 12 of their final 15 games — including the Commissioner’s Cup championship — to clinch the No. 1 seed in the WNBA playoffs.

“You never feel comfortable,” the first-year coach explained Tuesday after practice at Michelob Ultra Arena. “Because you’ve been in enough situations, I’ve seen enough basketball games, where the best team doesn’t always win. … We (need to) do what we’re supposed to do and impose our will and fingerprint on the game. We don’t want to come in being reactionary, on offense or defense.”
