A'ja Wilson got it DONE tonight 🥵 She dropped a 30-piece to secure the @LVAces spot in the Commissioner's Cup Champions

What happened: A'Ja Wilson posted 33 points, 10 rebounds, three assists and five steals to power the Las Vegas Aces to an 86-76 win over Phoenix. The victory secured Las Vegas a spot in the 2026 WNBA Commissioner's Cup Championship Game.

Why it matters: The result keeps Las Vegas (11-5) on track and sets up an in-season title showdown with the New York Liberty. Wilson's all-around line, capped by five steals, again placed her at the center of the Aces' championship push.

By the numbers: Wilson's line: 33 PTS, 10 REB, 3 AST, 5 STL. Las Vegas sits 11-5 on the season, scoring 90.1 per game and allowing 87.6. The win also answered a lopsided earlier meeting, when Phoenix beat the Aces 99-66 in Las Vegas on May 9.

What to watch: Las Vegas now turns to the Commissioner's Cup Championship Game against New York, with the in-season crown on the line.
