The Las Vegas Aces earned their third win of the season Friday night, defeating the Los Angeles Sparks 96-81 behind a commanding performance from A’ja Wilson. The three-time MVP filled the stat sheet, recording 35 points, 13 rebounds, six assists, three steals, and three blocks on 12-for-18 shooting. She went a perfect 10-for-10 from the free-throw line and finished with a +23 plus/minus.

She also became the first player to record multiple games with at least 35 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists.
