VANCOUVER — A’ja Wilson put up 27 points, seven rebounds and seven assists, and her Las Vegas Aces overpowered the Toronto Tempo en route to a 88-78 victory in Vancouver on Sunday.
Jackie Young added 21 points for the Aces (26-13), who have locked up their playoff spot but remain five games back of the league-leading Minnesota Lynx.
Canadian Kia Nurse led the Tempo (11-26) with 19 points, four assists and four rebounds, while rookie Kiki Rice poured in 14 points.
Las Vegas pulled out to a 10-point lead late in the second quarter when NaLyssa Smith picked off a ball deep in Aces’ territory and sprinted down the court to put a shot in.
