Wilson Scores 30 Points as the Aces Beat the Storm 98-77
Wilson’s 49th career 30-point game helped Las Vegas build a 21-2 first-quarter run and stay in the race for playoff seeding.
On Sunday, WNBA MVP A'ja Wilson scored 30 points to lead the Las Vegas Aces to a 98-77 victory over the Seattle Storm, becoming the first player in history to surpass the 1,000-point mark in multiple seasons.
The Aces improved to 29-13 and extended their winning streak to five games, while the Seattle Storm fell to 8-35, the most losses in WNBA history, clinching the worst record this season.
Jackie Young added 23 points and eight assists for Las Vegas, while Storm rookie Flau'jae Johnson scored a season-high 29 points and All-Star Dominique Malonga contributed 25 in the defeat.
Las Vegas remains in contention for the No. 2 seed, though it requires two additional wins and two Golden State Valkyries losses, as the team holds the tiebreaker over Golden State.
The Aces host Los Angeles on Tuesday night to close their regular-season home schedule, while the WNBA playoffs begin September 27 with the top four teams earning home-court advantage.
