LA 101/LV 95

CBS/Paramount+Michelob ULTRA Arena
Things to say

Los Angeles Sparks beat the Las Vegas Aces 101-95 on the road.

01
opener
Sparks went into Vegas and stole one, 101-95. Kelsey Plum absolutely torched her old team. You could tell she had this circled.
02
key player
Plum dropped 38 and 9 on the Aces — revenge game, full clinic, ice in her veins down the stretch.
03
hot take
A'ja had 24 and 15 and still took the L. That tells you everything about Vegas right now — no help around her.
04
deep cut
Cameron Brink quietly grabbed 8 boards and was banging in the paint all night. Sparks needed every one of those.
05
exit
Aces are 4-2 but this one's gonna sting. Curious what they look like next time out.
The recap

Sparks went into Vegas and stole one, 101-95, with Kelsey Plum putting on an absolute clinic against her old squad — 38 points and 9 dimes, just buckets all night. A'ja Wilson did her thing with 24 and 15, but she didn't have enough help and the Aces took the L at home.

Plum was hitting daggers in the fourth like she had ice in her veins, and once LA grabbed the lead they never let it go. Aces are 4-2 but this one's gonna sting.
