Overview
- Las Vegas erased a slow first half by outscoring Connecticut 53-31 after the break to secure a 101-78 win at Michelob ULTRA Arena on Thursday.
- Guard Jackie Young led the Aces with 24 points while adding seven rebounds and five assists and has scored at least 20 points in eight of her past 10 games.
- Center A'ja Wilson scored 20 points, played in her franchise-record 302nd game, and sits 92 points short of 1,000 with six regular-season games remaining.
- The victory prevented Las Vegas's first three-game losing streak of the season, closed a five-game homestand on a high note, and extended the Aces' winning streak over Connecticut to 11 games in the teams' final regular-season meeting before Connecticut's move to Houston.
- Photographer RJ Forbus of The Sporting Tribune documented the game in a TST Images gallery distributed by Yahoo Sports, and Wilson's scoring chase could shape Las Vegas's rotation and strategy in the final six games.
