The Aces won the second-ever Commissioner’s Cup with a 93-83 win over the Sky in Chicago.
Guard Kelsey Plum led the Aces with 24 points, while going 6 for 9 from three-point range.
A’ja Wilson recorded a double-double scoring 17 points and pulling down 17 rebounds, while guard Chelsea Gray added 19.
All WNBA teams played Commissioner’s Cup games throughout the season which eventually pit the top two teams from each conference with the best records from those games.
The game does not count towards the WNBA standings, but each Aces player earned a $30,000 bonus, while each Sky player earned a $10,000 bonus.
The Seattle Storm beat the Connecticut Sun last year to win the first Commissioner’s Cup.
The Aces will next head out on a five-game road trip starting on Friday in Indiana against the Fever.
