Las Vegas Aces Win 13th Straight Over Minnesota Lynx

The Las Vegas Aces have extended their winning streak to a franchise-record 13 games after defeating the Minnesota Lynx 97-87, marking a significant turnaround from an earlier 53-point loss to the same team. This victory puts the Aces in a tie for second place in the WNBA standings, with A'ja Wilson leading the charge by scoring 31 points, grabbing 8 rebounds, and tying a league record with her 12th game of 30 or more points this season. Wilson, a three-time MVP and current favorite for a fourth, was also named Western Conference Player of the Month for August, breaking the WNBA record for most such honors. The Aces' winning streak is notable for being against mostly postseason-bound teams, highlighting their strong late-season form as they prepare for the playoffs. Minnesota, already locked in as the No. 1 seed, was led by Natisha Hiedeman with 22 points, but could not overcome Las Vegas's momentum. The Aces will next face the Chicago Sky in back-to-back games before finishing their regular season on the road against the Los Angeles Sparks.
