A Night of Milestones
The Las Vegas Aces and Atlanta Dream met in a back‑and‑forth battle that kept fans on the edge of their seats until the final buzzer. With the score knotted, the Dream’s veteran core stepped up, orchestrating a late surge that would define the night.
Chelsea Gray emerged as the decisive factor, driving to the basket for a go‑ahead basket and then snatching the ball for a clinching steal in the closing seconds. Her poise under pressure turned a tied game into a 108‑106 victory for Atlanta.
A'ja Wilson continued her climb up the WNBA’s all‑time scoring list, finishing with 20 points, six rebounds and two blocks while passing Becky Hammon for 19th place on the career chart. The milestone underscored Wilson’s blend of skill and durability.
Allisha Gray paced the Dream’s offense with 25 points, nearly completing a double‑double and highlighting her role as a primary scoring threat. Her relentless attack kept the Aces’ defense on the back foot throughout the contest.
Te‑Hina Paopao added a career‑high 19 points, shooting 4‑for‑9 from three‑point range, while rookie Madina Okot recorded her first career double‑double with 14 points and 11 rebounds in just 16 minutes. Both performances signaled promising contributions from the team’s younger talent.
