The Aces remain hot on the heels of first place Seattle with a 92-86 win over the Indiana Fever at the IMG Bubble in Bradenton, FL.

Forward A’ja Wilson scored 22 points and dominated the boards pulling down 16 rebounds.

Guard Jackie Young and forward Dearica Hamby came off the bench and combined for 30 points.

The Aces led by as much as 20 points, but the Fever wouldn’t go away, rallying in the fourth quarter to cut the lead to just four points.

With the win, the Aces are just one game out of first place behind the Seattle Storm with just three games left in the season:

Thursday vs Minnesota Lynx
Saturday vs Los Angeles Sparks
Sunday vs Seattle Storm

Las Vegas improved to 15-4 on the season.
