The Las Vegas Aces delivered a dominant performance Sunday night, pulling away from the Dallas Wings for a convincing 101–84 victory in a game that showcased their offensive firepower and depth.


Las Vegas set the tone early but truly took control in the second half, turning a competitive matchup into a one-sided affair. Leading the charge was A’ja Wilson, who anchored both ends of the floor with a standout performance, finishing with 28 points and 11 rebounds. Wilson’s ability to dominate inside opened up scoring opportunities across the lineup.

The Aces’ backcourt also played a key role, with Kelsey Plum adding 19 points and pushing the tempo. Las Vegas shot efficiently throughout the night, surpassing the 100-point mark with balanced scoring and strong ball movement.


Dallas stayed within reach in the first half behind Arike Ogunbowale, who led the Wings with 26 points. Her perimeter shooting kept the Wings competitive early, but the offense cooled as Las Vegas tightened its defense after halftime.


Forward Satou Sabally contributed 14 points and 8 rebounds for Dallas, but the Wings struggled to match the Aces’ pace and efficiency. Turnovers and defensive lapses in the third quarter allowed Las Vegas to build a double-digit lead that Dallas never recovered from.

By the final buzzer, the Aces had firmly established control, finishing with a 101–84 win and reinforcing their status as one of the top teams in the league.


Key Stats:

  • Las Vegas Aces: 101 points, strong second-half surge

  • Dallas Wings: 84 points, struggled defensively late

  • A’ja Wilson: 28 PTS, 11 REB

  • Arike Ogunbowale: 26 PTS
