Forever in our heart : Kelsey plum is suspended for 3 month due….
WASHINGTON — A’ja Wilson scored 28 points and grabbed 17 rebounds, Kelsey Plum scored 22 points and the Las Vegas Aces rallied from a 13-point, second-quarter deficit to beat the Washington Mystics 89-77 on Sunday for their fourth win in a row.
Tiffany Hayes tied her season best with 17 points and added a season-high five assists for Las Vegas (16-7).
The Aces — who started the season 6-6, matching their loss total from the 2023 regular season in the first 12 games of 2024 — have won 10 of their past 11 since the return of point guard Chelsea Gray. The 2022 WNBA Finals MVP returned from a foot injury (suffered in the 2023 Finals) on June 19, and Las Vegas has nine wins by 10-plus points since her debut.
Plum hit a driving layup about three minutes into the second half to give the Aces a 44-43 lead, their first since 2-0, and Wilson took over, scoring 14 points and grabbing eight rebounds in the third quarter as Las Vegas took a 65-62 lead into the fourth and never again trailed.
Wilson’s performance was her 11th this season with at least 25 points and 10 rebounds, the most in a season in WNBA history, and she now has at least 20 points and 15 rebounds in three straight games, the longest such streak in WNBA history.
