Overview
- Chelsea Gray hit a go-ahead jumper with 3.6 seconds left on Sunday in Atlanta, sealing an 85-84 win that finished a four-game road sweep and pushed the Aces to 4-1.
- A'ja Wilson powered Friday’s 101-94 win in Uncasville with 45 points on 15-for-18 shooting and 13-for-13 free throws, marking her WNBA-record fifth 40-point game.
- Wilson moved past coach Becky Hammon into 19th on the league’s career scoring list during the Atlanta game, adding 20 points as Las Vegas notched its fourth straight victory.
- Opponent absences shaped both results as Connecticut was short-handed with Brittney Griner and Olivia Nelson-Ododa out and Atlanta missed All-Star Rhyne Howard, while Aaliyah Edwards returned for the Sun.
- Chennedy Carter’s scoring punch off the bench and Gray’s late-game shot-making kept tight games in Vegas’s column, fueling early MVP buzz for Wilson and setting up a home date Saturday to raise the 2025 title banner against the Sparks.
