Overview
- Wilson powered Las Vegas to a 101-94 road win at Connecticut on Friday, giving her a WNBA-record fifth 40-point game and the league’s only two 45-plus outings.
- She was nearly flawless offensively, going 15-for-18 from the field, 13-for-13 at the line and 2-for-2 from three, with a late third-quarter three and an and-one that halted a Sun surge.
- The victory pushed the Aces to 3-1 with a third straight road win on their four-game trip, which is scheduled to conclude Sunday in Atlanta.
- Connecticut dropped to 0-4 and played short-handed as Brittney Griner sat with a left foot injury and Olivia Nelson-Ododa missed the game with a right ankle injury.
- Chennedy Carter added 18 points off the bench and Chelsea Gray posted 12 points and 10 assists in a game at Mohegan Sun Arena that Wilson called special as the Sun prepare to relocate to Houston.
