Jackie Young led the Las Vegas Aces to a 114-77 rout of the Seattle Storm, delivering a game-high 35 points in the WNBA meeting. Young set the tone for Las Vegas, and the final score reflected the separation the Aces built. The performance placed Young at the center of the result, with Wilson alongside as another leading force for the winners.

What happened

Young finished with 35 points, one rebound and five assists to pace all scorers. A'ja Wilson added 29 points, seven rebounds and five assists for Las Vegas, giving the Aces a second high-volume scoring line alongside Young. The two Las Vegas lines together set the standard for the game.

Flau'jae Johnson led Seattle with 25 points, two rebounds and one assist. Johnson supplied the Storm's top line, but the night otherwise tilted toward Las Vegas on the way to the 114-77 final.

Why it matters

Las Vegas had two high-volume scorers in Young and Wilson, and that pairing drove the separation from Seattle. With both players producing at that level in the same game, the Aces did not need to rely on a single source for offense.

Johnson's 25 points gave Seattle its best individual output, but it was not enough to keep pace with the Aces' top two lines. The gap between Las Vegas' paired production and Seattle's lone top line defined the result.

The result underscored how difficult it is to match Las Vegas when both Young and Wilson deliver high-volume scoring nights. Seattle received its strongest push from Johnson, but Las Vegas held the broader edge across the final score.

By the numbers

Young's 35 points led all scorers in the game. Wilson contributed for Las Vegas with 29 points, seven rebounds and five assists, while Johnson countered for Seattle with 25 points, two rebounds and one assist.

The combined output of Young and Wilson accounted for the core of the Aces' 114-point total. Seattle's 77 points left it well short of Las Vegas in the final accounting.

What to watch next

Young's scoring form will be worth tracking in Las Vegas' next game after the 35-point performance. The question for the Aces is whether that same high-volume output remains part of the follow-up.

For Seattle, the response after allowing 114 points is the next thing to watch. The Storm will look to move past a night when Johnson's 25 points stood as the top line in a game otherwise controlled by Las Vegas.
