The Las Vegas Aces recorded a 90-71 win over the Chicago Sky at T-Mobile Arena on Tuesday. The win marked their third straight victory, improving their record to 21-12 this season. The loss was the Sky's seventh on the trot, and they are in danger of losing the eighth spot to the Atlanta Dream, who, at the time of writing, have the same 11-win record as Chicago.
Turnovers and sputtering offense cost the Chicago Sky as the Aces carved a healthy 47-31 lead heading into halftime. For the Aces, A'ja Wilson led from the front with another double-double, propping up 30 points and 14 rebounds. Jackie Young chipped in with 15 points, six rebounds and six assists. Chelsea Gray had 13 points and 10 assists, while Tiffany Hayes, replacing Kelsey Plum, tallied 20 points.
Angel Reese continued her impressive double-double run with 12 points and 16 rebounds. Michaela Onyenwere had 15 points while Kamilla Cardoso notched up 14 points and two rebounds.
