Some players collect wins. A’ja Wilson seems to collect records along the way. The Las Vegas’ star delivered yet another dominant performance on Tuesday night, leading the Las Vegas Aces to a 79-69 victory over the Los Angeles Sparks at Crypto.com Arena. Wilson finished with 25 points, 15 rebounds, five blocks and three steals, and earned a place alone in the WNBA record books, as she moved past Sylvia Fowles for the most games in league history.

How Did Las Vegas Aces A’ja Wilson Make WNBA History Against the Los Angeles Sparks?

A’ja Wilson was once again at the center of everything good for the Las Vegas Aces, finishing with 25 points, 15 rebounds, five blocks and three steals in a 79-69 win over the Los Angeles Sparks. The four-time MVP delivered another complete performance, dominating both ends of the floor and helping the Aces pull away after a strong third-quarter stretch.

With another game featuring at least 25 points, 15 rebounds and five blocks, she moved past Sylvia Fowles for the most such performances in WNBA history. She is also the only player to have recorded those numbers in the last four seasons. The achievement comes shortly after Wilson signed a three-year, $5 million contract extension with the Las Vegas Aces, the largest deal in WNBA history, reaffirming her long-term commitment to the franchise.

How Did the Aces Secure a Crucial Win Over the Sparks?

The Las Vegas Aces leaned on another dominant display from A’ja Wilson to secure a 79-69 victory over the Los Angeles Sparks. Wilson stuffed the stat sheet with 25 points, 15 rebounds and five blocks, while Jackie Young chipped in with 16 points and nine assists. Chelsea Gray also played a key role with a double-double of 12 points and 11 assists as Las Vegas improved to 6-3 on the season. The night carried extra significance for Wilson, who climbed to eighth on the WNBA’s all-time blocks list after surpassing Tammy Sutton-Brown.

Los Angeles had its moments, led by a career-best 22-point outing from Rae Burrell and a 12-point, 12-rebound effort from Nneka Ogwumike, who moved into fifth place on the league’s career rebounding chart. However, the Aces took control with a decisive third-quarter surge, using an 8-0 run to open up a double-digit cushion that the Sparks struggled to erase. Los Angeles briefly threatened to make things interesting late in the fourth quarter, but Wilson answered with a timely three-point play to restore breathing room and help Las Vegas close out the win. The Sparks were also without Kelsey Plum for a third consecutive game, while Dearica Hamby endured a rare off night, failing to make a field goal for the first time in nearly three years.
