GS 79/LV 84

ABCMichelob ULTRA Arena
Things to say

Las Vegas Aces beat the Golden State Valkyries 84-79 at Michelob ULTRA Arena.

01
Aces took it 84-79. Close one. Vegas pulled away late, Valkyries hung around all night but couldn't get the stop when they needed it.
02
key player
A'ja Wilson was an absolute problem — 28 and 14, just lived in the paint.
03
hot take
Valkyries are 6-5 but nobody's talking about them — Gabby Williams dropping 27 in Vegas? That's a real team.
04
deep cut
Chelsea Gray only had 6 dimes but every one of them in the fourth felt like a dagger.
05
exit
Anyway — curious if Vegas can keep this up on the road next.
The recap

Aces took it 84-79 but Golden State made them sweat for it. A'ja Wilson was a problem all night — 28 and 14, just bullying folks in the paint for buckets and boards.

Gabby Williams kept the Valkyries in it with 27 of her own, but Vegas had too much firepower down the stretch and Golden State took the L. Wilson's the MVP for a reason, she straight-up ate them up.
