Aces Rout Mercury 106-58 in Franchise-Record 48-Point Win

A statement win for Las Vegas that casts doubt on Phoenix's consistency.

Overview

  • Las Vegas defeated Phoenix 106-58 on Saturday night, a 48-point margin that is the largest in Aces history and tied for the third-biggest blowout in WNBA records.
  • A'ja Wilson finished with 21 points and 15 rebounds in 25 minutes, posting a double-double by halftime and extending her season scoring consistency.
  • Justine Pissott made a memorable WNBA debut after being signed off Indiana's development roster, scoring 19 points on 7-for-8 shooting with five 3-pointers in the fourth quarter.
  • The Aces shared the offense with Chelsea Gray supplying 11 assists in a 30-assist team performance while Las Vegas outrebounded Phoenix 47-29.
  • The loss dropped Phoenix to 8-16 and a third straight defeat and will be an early test of whether Las Vegas's win signals sustained momentum or if Phoenix can halt a slide before their next game at Minnesota.
