Overview

  • The Las Vegas Aces beat the Toronto Tempo 109-83 on Monday night, taking control after a 12-2 run and never trailing for a road win in Toronto.
  • A'ja Wilson scored 26 points and Jackie Young added a season-high 24 with 12 assists as the pair combined for 50 points and pushed the Aces' balanced attack.
  • Toronto played without head coach Sandy Brondello because of a one-game WNBA suspension and was missing Brittney Sykes, Kiki Rice and Nyara Sabally to injury, forcing the expansion team to rely heavily on Isabelle Harrison's career-high 26 points and 11 rebounds.
  • The loss capped Toronto's nine-game homestand at 2-7 and left the Tempo 10-16 entering the All‑Star break while Las Vegas improved to 18-7 and will visit Washington next.
  • The game highlighted deeper issues for Toronto on defense and depth while underscoring how Las Vegas's star-driven scoring and three-point attack can quickly overwhelm undermanned opponents, a dynamic to watch as both clubs resume play after the break.
