In a nail-biting showdown that kept fans on the edge of their seats, the Dallas Wings edged out the Las Vegas Aces 93-90, despite a spectacular 42-point performance from A’ja Wilson. The intense WNBA clash, held at College Park Center, saw the Wings secure a hard-fought victory, snapping the Aces’ winning streak and reaffirming their playoff ambitions.
Wilson, the reigning MVP, was nothing short of unstoppable, delivering one of the most dominant individual performances of the season. Her 42 points, coupled with 10 rebounds, nearly single-handedly carried the Aces to victory. But it wasn’t enough to overcome a resilient Dallas squad that showcased both depth and determination.
The Wings, led by Arike Ogunbowale’s 26 points, executed a balanced attack that ultimately made the difference. Natasha Howard chipped in with 18 points and 9 rebounds, while Satou Sabally added 16 points, making crucial plays down the stretch to fend off the Aces’ relentless pursuit.
Dallas took control early, leading by as many as 12 points in the first half, but the Aces, fueled by Wilson’s brilliance, battled back to tie the game in the fourth quarter. In the final minutes, it was the Wings’ composure under pressure that proved decisive. A series of clutch free throws and defensive stops sealed the win, as Dallas held off a furious late-game rally by Las Vegas.
“This win shows our resilience,” said Wings head coach Latricia Trammell. The victory boosts the Wings’ confidence as they look to solidify their playoff position. For the Aces, the loss is a rare setback in an otherwise stellar season, despite Wilson’s heroics. As the postseason approaches, both teams will be closely watched as they vie for WNBA supremacy.
