The Aces got back on the winning track with an 84-75 win over the Washington Mystics at Michelob Ultra Arena.
“We got tired of losing,” said forward A’ja Wilson. “It feels like we have lost 30 in a row.”
Wilson led the Aces with 26 points and 10 rebounds.
“My teammates just found me in spots,” said Wilson. “I was just going with the flow and my teammates helped me.”
Chelsea Gray scored 21 points, while guard Kelsey Plum registered a double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds.
“She [Plum] has multiple ways to impact the game,” said head coach Becky Hammon. “She was just dicing people and had all the right reads tonight.”
The Aces recently have struggled, losing three of their last five games.
“Us going through this roller coaster of games and weathering the storm, helps us to get ready for playoffs,” said Wilson.
With the win, the Aces improved to 31-6 on the season heading into their next game at home on Saturday against the Seattle Storm.
