The Aces won their fourth straight game in a 100-78 victory over the New York Liberty at Michelob Ultra Arena at Mandalay Bay.

The Liberty kept the game close in the third quarter, but the Aces pulled away in the fourth with a 10-2 run to open the quarter.

Las Vegas got a career high 32 points off the bench from guard Kelsey Plum, who went 11 for 16 from the field, including 3 for 6 from three-point range.

Liz Cambage recorded a double-double, scoring 14 points and pulling down 11 rebounds, while Dearica Hamby added 16.

Last season’s WNBA MVP, A’ja Wilson, scored just 10 points.

With the win, the Aces improved to 9-3 and moved into sole possession of second place in the WNBA standings, 1.5 games behind the Seattle Storm.

The Aces will again play the New York Liberty at home on Thursday.
