In the next matchup in Phoenix on June 29, the Aces rallied for an 84-81 triumph as six-point underdogs. Wilson scored 26 points and pulled down 18 rebounds, while Phoenix All-Star forward Satou Sabally was held to 10 points on 3-of-14 shooting.

A'ja Wilson is completely taking over the WNBA, as evidenced by her historic game on Tuesday in leading the Aces to their 8th straight win.

Wilson, who entered averaging 28.4 points and 14.4 rebounds in her last five games, secured her 116th career double-double.

The Aces started August with a 53-point loss to Minnesota but have ridden a seven-game winning streak up to No. 2 in the Power Rankings following wins over New York, Phoenix and Dallas -- and could soon be second in league standings. A'ja Wilson has averaged 26.1 points and 13.3 rebounds over their win streak to find herself in the MVP race again.

Aces head coach Becky Hammon didn't mince words when giving her opinion on who she thinks is winning the 2025 WNBA MVP race.

For the first two months of the season, the Aces were in and out of the playoff picture, suffered a three-game losing streak and were .500 at the All-Star break. The only team to win consecutive titles in the past 20 years, the Aces performed far below preseason expectations.

The Las Vegas Aces continued their late-season surge with a convincing 106-87 win over the Dallas Wings, marking their seventh victory in the last eight games. A’ja Wilson led the way with another dominant 34-point performance, while Kierstan Bell (18 points) and NaLyssa Smith (14 points) rounded out Las Vegas’ top scorers list.
