Aces took care of business in LA, 79-69, and A'ja Wilson was a problem all night — 25 and 15, just bullying folks in the paint. Chelsea Gray ran the show with 11 dimes, picking Sparks defenders apart every time they helped over on A'ja.
Rae Burrell kept LA breathing with 22 buckets and Nneka grabbed everything that came off the rim, but nobody else showed up and the Sparks took the L. Vegas moves to 6-3 and they look every bit the part.
