sportsMay 15, 202636630

A'ja Wilson scored 45 points on 15-for-18 shooting to lead the Las Vegas Aces to a 101-94 win over the Connecticut Sun. She was perfect from the line, going 13-for-13, and also hit both of her three-point attempts while adding three rebounds, three assists, and two blocks. This performance marked Wilson's 15th regular-season game with 35 or more points and her fifth 40-point regular-season game, both new WNBA records. Her efficiency and record-setting scoring gave Las Vegas the offensive lift it needed in a close game and reinforces Wilson's status as the league's premier scorer.

The Washington Mystics are a fun team to watch! If you're a D.C. fan it's the most excited you should be since the 2019 #WNBA Championship squad. They hung on to beat the Indiana Fever 104-102 in OT. Sonia Citron scored 30 points. Kiki Iriafen added 25 points & 13 rebounds.

100%. Missed a good portion watching the Aces Sun game, where A'ja had her second-highest scoring game and Chennedy Carter continues to dazzle, but this one the most exciting game so far this season! Congrats, Mystics! Heck of a game by all involved! Citron, Cotie, Austin, Kiki, Rori, etc!!! #WNBA

Mystics may have the best front court rotation in the W.
