**Las Vegas Aces Extend Winning Streak to Four with 72-67 Victory Over Connecticut Sun**
On September 6, the Las Vegas Aces secured their fourth consecutive win, defeating the Connecticut Sun 72-67, as they continue their strong push for playoff homecourt advantage. Kelsey Plum and A’ja Wilson led the way for the Aces, scoring 27 and 20 points, respectively. With this win, the Aces improved to 22-12 and held steady in fourth place in the standings.
Following the game, Plum praised Wilson’s exceptional performance, saying, “She’s just a light. Just the type of human being she is. We really need to cherish what’s happening live. I mean, unanimous MVP, but unanimous MVP as a human being. So, I think for us, we gotta celebrate legends as they play.” Plum’s comments were shared on Instagram by the Aces, and Wilson reciprocated the admiration on her Instagram Story, captioning it, “My dawg.”
With her performance against the Sun, Wilson is just 10 points away from breaking the single-season WNBA scoring record currently held by Jewell Loyd of the Seattle Storm, who scored 939 points last season. Wilson is a strong contender for her third MVP award, leading the league with averages of 27.3 points, 2.7 blocks, and 11.9 rebounds per game. Plum is also contributing significantly with averages of 17.9 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game. The Aces, currently 6-4 in their last 10 games, will next face the top-ranked New York Liberty on Sunday.
