A'ja WilsonLas Vegas AcesSportsWashington MysticsWNBA basketball A’ja Wilson Accumulates 26 Points, Surpassing 800-Point Milestone, as Aces Defeat Mystics 84-75 by Gabriel Martinez September 1, 2023 written by Gabriel Martinez September 1, 2023 0 comment Bookmark 7 A’ja Wilson delivered a standout performance of 26 points and 11 rebounds, leading the Las Vegas Aces to halt their two-game skid with an 84-75 victory over the Washington Mystics this past Thursday evening. Previously, the Aces (31-6) suffered a 78-62 defeat at the hands of the Mystics, during which Wilson managed only 14 points on a 4-of-12 shooting record. Wilson’s efforts in the latest game enabled her to join an exclusive club of fifth WNBA players—and the third in this current season—to accumulate 800 points in a single season. She spearheaded the Aces’ early momentum by successfully executing six of her initial seven shot attempts. For the Aces, Chelsea Gray contributed 21 points, Alysha Clark added 11 points coming off the bench, and Kelsey Plum recorded a double-double with 12 points and 10 assists. The Aces now hold a two-game advantage over New York for the highest seed in the impending playoffs. Wilson, who went 10-of-14 from the field and was flawless in her five free-throw attempts, has now become the franchise’s all-time leader in successful free throws. She joins Jewell Loyd of Seattle and Breanna Stewart of New York in achieving the 800-point milestone for this season. Leading the scoring for the Mystics (17-19) was Elena Delle Donne, who notched 17 points, followed by Brittney Sykes with 16 and Natasha Cloud with 12. The Aces set the tone early, leading 24-14 at the end of the first quarter and extending that advantage to 40-30 by halftime. Wilson was particularly effective, netting 19 points on an 8-of-9 shooting performance. A 7-0 scoring spree in the third quarter further solidified the Aces’ lead at 64-59. Though the Mystics initiated the fourth quarter with a 7-0 run, capped by a jumper from Delle Donne, subsequent scores from Plum and Clark ensured that the Aces maintained their lead until the final buzzer.
