Phoenix MercuryvsLas Vegas Aces
PHX 58/LV 106
Things to say
The Las Vegas Aces blew out the Phoenix Mercury 106-58 at home.
01
opener
Man, that was a bloodbath. Vegas put up 106 and ran Phoenix off the floor. It was over by halftime, honestly.
02
key player
A'ja Wilson did whatever she wanted. 21 and 15 boards, and she barely had to play the fourth. MVP stuff.
03
hot take
Phoenix scoring 58 is embarrassing. That's not a bad night, that's a team that quit.
04
deep cut
Chelsea Gray dropped 12 dimes without breaking a sweat. When she's cooking like that the offense is unfair.
05
exit
Aces are just a different tier right now. Curious if anyone can actually give them a game in the playoffs.
The recap
Vegas just took Phoenix out behind the woodshed, 106-58 — a 48-point beatdown that was never a game. A'ja Wilson ran an absolute clinic with 21 and 15 and Chelsea Gray was slinging dimes all night, dropping 12 assists like she was toying with them.
The Mercury couldn't buy a bucket, topping out at 13 from Monique Akoa Makani and nobody else showing up. This one was over by the second quarter and the Aces just kept pouring it on.
