The Las Vegas Aces trialed the entire game falling to the Los Angeles Sparks 87-71 at Staples Center on Sunday.

Tamera Young led the Aces with 16 points, while dishing eight assists and pulling down five rebounds.

Four Aces scored in double digits, including A’ja Wilson, who scored 10 points, but was limited in playing time due to foul trouble.

The Aces beat the Sparks 94-78 on Friday in Las Vegas as Wilson scored 29 points in that game.

Guard Moriah Jefferson played in her first game of the season coming off a knee injury, but was held scoreless in a little over 11 minutes of play.

With the loss, the Aces dropped to 6-12 on the season.

The Aces will next return home on Thursday to face the Chicago Sky (6-10) at the Mandalay Bay Events Center.
