Those three losses came by a combined 10 points, with the most recent being a 91-87 home loss to the league-leading Minnesota Lynx. Nneka Ogwumike put together a fine performance, scoring 23 points on 8-for-12 from the field, grabbing six rebounds, and handing out five assists.<\/p>\n The Aces are on a solid streak of their own, having won four of their last five games. On Wednesday night at Golden State, the Aces took a 12-point lead into the fourth quarter, ultimately cruising to a 78-72 win. A’Ja Wilson scored 27 points, going a perfect 11-for-11 from the free-throw line, to go with seven rebounds, three assists, two steals, and two blocks.<\/p>\n This will be the fourth and final matchup of the season between the teams, with the Aces winning two of the first three.<\/p>\n![\"A'ja](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ja-wilson.jpg\")
