Overview
- A'ja Wilson had 25 points, 15 rebounds and five blocks to propel the Las Vegas Aces to a 79-69 road win over the Los Angeles Sparks on Tuesday.
- Chelsea Gray recorded a 12-point, 11-assist game to become only the fourth player in WNBA history with at least 4,500 points, 1,000 rebounds, 1,500 assists and 100 blocks.
- The Sparks struggled offensively without leading scorer Kelsey Plum, shooting roughly 31 percent from the field and relying heavily on Rae Burrell for scoring.
- Rae Burrell scored a career-high 22 points but appeared to roll an ankle after the final buzzer and needed help leaving the court, creating a developing health concern for Los Angeles.
- The result moved Las Vegas to 6-3 and Los Angeles to 4-5, and it reinforced Wilson’s rising career marks including a climb into the top 10 on the WNBA blocks list and a run of 20-point double-doubles that keeps her near all-time leaders.
