The Aces found their winning ways in a 92-86 win over the Los Angeles Sparks at the Mandalay Bay Events Center.
The Aces were led by forward A’ja Wilson who scored 24 points and pulled down 12 rebounds.
“I have to give it to my teammates,” said Wilson. “They really put me in the best situations to create those shots and to get to the free throw line. And that’s what it’s all about it. Just finding the flow in our offense and getting the things done.”
Kelsey Plum came off the bench and scored 20 points while going 7 for 10 from the field including five 3-pointers.
“For me, it’s just continue to stay aggressive,” said Plum. “I’m just so grateful that I have teammates who always believe in me and encourage me.”
With the win, the Aces improved to 20-12 on the season and moved into 3rd place in the WNBA standings.
With just two games remaining in the regular season, the Aces will finish on the road in Atlanta against the Dream on Thursday and in Phoenix against the Mercury on Sunday.
