Las Vegas Aces Stay Hot With Win Over Sky

Las Vegas Aces Shine While Chicago Sits Reese

The Las Vegas Aces kept rolling last night with a strong win over the Chicago Sky, but the big storyline wasn’t just the scoreboard—it was the absence of Angel Reese. Suspended by the team for the first half for her remarks about her team, Reese didn’t see the floor at all in the second either, as Chicago’s coaching staff kept her sidelined.

The Aces took advantage. A’ja Wilson was unstoppable once again, pouring in 31 points and grabbing 11 rebounds for yet another double-double. Jackie Young was right behind her, lighting it up for 20 points with sharp shooting and relentless drives. Chelsea Gray added 13 points, providing the stability that has fueled Vegas’ offense in the second half of the season.

With Reese out and the Aces firing on all cylinders, the Sky just couldn’t keep pace. The win reinforces Vegas’ status as a title contender, now sitting at 14 consecutive wins and in second place at 28-14.

Looking Ahead: Aces vs. Sky (Round 2)

The Aces don’t have to wait long to see Chicago again. On Tuesday, the Sky return to Vegas for a rematch. Will Reese be back in action even though the Sky have been eliminated? That’s the big question.

For the Aces, keeping the same intensity will be key. Wilson’s MVP-level play, combined with Young’s scoring punch and Gray’s leadership, has them peaking at the right time. Another win could strengthen their playoff positioning chances and send an even louder message across the league.
