LV 91/GS 81

NBC/PeacockChase Center
Things to say

Las Vegas Aces beat the Golden State Valkyries 91-81 at Chase Center.

01
opener
Aces went into Chase and took care of business, 91-81. Valkyries hung around but Vegas pulled away late. Felt like the vets just had another gear.
02
key player
A'ja Wilson was a problem all night — 28 and 15, eating them up in the paint.
03
hot take
Golden State's an expansion team sitting at 5-3, that's not nothing. They're gonna sneak up on somebody.
04
deep cut
Jackie Young quietly dropped 9 dimes running the offense — Aces don't win that one without her setting the table.
05
exit
Anyway, see what the Aces do on their next road stop — A'ja on this kind of run is must-watch.
The recap

Aces took care of business in San Francisco, 91-81, and A'ja Wilson was an absolute problem all night with 28 and 15. Gabby Williams kept Golden State hanging around with 20 buckets, but every time the Valkyries made a run, Vegas had an answer.

Jackie Young was the connector, dishing 9 dimes and getting everyone easy looks. Different records same story, A'ja ate them up in the paint and Golden State took the L at home.
