Aces 94, Liberty 82

The Aces responded by scoring 14 of the next 15 points — the first four by A’ja Wilson — to put the game away.
“I called timeout to yell at them to ‘Get the ball to A’ja Wilson’ and that was the end of the game.”
Wilson finished with 30 points and 13 rebounds and the Aces beat the New York Liberty 94-82 on Thursday night.
Jackie Young added 16 points and Dearica Hamby had 13 for Las Vegas (6-3).
