Abhishek Strikes 46-ball Ton As India Give Zimbabwe A Thrashing
LAS VEGAS -- A'ja Wilson scored 28 points and became the franchise's all-time leading scorer Sunday as the Las Vegas Aces beat the Dallas Wings 104-85.
Wilson also grabbed 10 rebounds, her 11th double-double of the season. She was 11-of-22 from the field and 3-of-4 from 3-point range.
The No. 1 overall selection in the 2018 WNBA draft has 4,301 career points and moved past Sophia Young-Malcolm (4,300) for the team mark.
She also has 540 points this season, the most by any player over a 20-game span within a season in WNBA history.
Kelsey Plum added 23 points, Jackie Young scored 18 and Chelsea Gray 12 for the Aces.
Wilson and Plum had 13 points apiece on a combined 10-of-18 shooting in the first half and scored the Aces' final 11 points as they took a 51-48 halftime lead. Plum was fouled as she made a driving layup and hit the and-1 free throw to close the second quarter. Wilson then hit a jumper and a 3 to open the second half, and Alysha Clark hit a 3-pointer with 8:31 left in the third quarter that made it 60-48.
Dallas trimmed its deficit to as little as eight points on two occasions early in the fourth quarter -- both after baskets by Odyssey Sims -- but got no closer.
Sims led the Wings (5-17) with 25 points, her most in a WNBA game since she scored 26 for the Atlanta Dream on Aug. 17, 2021. Natasha Howard added 14 points and Arike Ogunbowale scored 13.
Sims -- who made 28 appearances for the Wings last season, her second with the club -- signed a salary cap hardship contract on June 25 due to injuries to Satou Sabally, Howard and Maddy Siegrist. The 31-year-old scored 18 points in her first game back and helped end the Wings' 11-game losing streak with a 94-88 win over the Minnesota Lynx.
Las Vegas (13-7), which had a six-game win streak snapped Friday night with a 98-93 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Sparks, set a season high for points in a game and topped the 100-point plateau for the second time this season.
