Las Vegas Aces Extend WNBA Win Streak to 16 with Dominant Sparks Victory

The Las Vegas Aces set a new WNBA regular-season record by making 22 three-pointers in a dominant 103-75 blowout of the Los Angeles Sparks in the Sparks' season finale, marking the Aces' 16th consecutive win and securing the No. 2 seed for the playoffs. A'ja Wilson led the Aces with 23 points, 19 rebounds, and impactful defense, while teammates Jewell Loyd, Jackie Young, and Chelsea Gray also contributed significantly to the team's offensive firepower. The Sparks, despite efforts from former Aces Dearica Hamby and Kelsey Plum, who each scored 15 points, were outmatched throughout the game and finished their season at 21-23, missing the playoffs for the fifth straight year. The Aces' shooting efficiency from beyond the arc, hitting nearly half of their 45 attempts, overwhelmed the Sparks, who struggled with only 4 of 26 three-point shots. The Sparks battled injuries and roster challenges, including the absence of key players Rickea Jackson and Julie Allemand, and the early exit of Cameron Brink due to injury. The Aces will face the Seattle Storm in the first round of the playoffs, carrying momentum from their historic winning streak.
