LAS VEGAS–The Aces bounced back from a tough loss in Los Angeles on Friday with a 104-85 win over the Dallas Wings at Michelob Ultra Arena.
“That’s [Dallas] a good offensive team,” said head coach Becky Hammon. “It was just about taking care of us. We are just trying to win basketball games.”
The Aces were led by A’ja Wilson with a double-double, scoring 28 points and pulling down 10 rebounds.
“Coming off that loss in L.A., it hurt,” said Wilson. “To bounce back and to have games like this, you need that ‘pick me up’.”
Wilson became the leader in most points in franchise history, surpassing Sophia Young-Malcolm at 4,300 points.
“It means a lot and it’s very special,” said Wilson. “To get it at home is truly special.”
“It’s a pleasure to be around her,” said Hammon of Wilson. “She is the best basketball player in the world along with being the best person in the world.”
Kelsey Plum dropped 23 points, going three for nine from three-point range, while Jackie Young added 18.
With the win, Las Vegas improved to 13-7 on the season.
The Aces will head out on a three-game road trip starting in Seattle on Wednesday against the Storm.
