Naphessa Collier followed with 22 points, 5 rebounds and 3 blocks matched up against reigning WNBA MVP A’ja Wilson. Natasha Howard added 17 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals. Kayla McBride scored 15 points, while Courtney Williams contributed 13 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals.
The Lynx’s win boosted their record to 26-7, giving them a three-game margin over the Aces for the WNBA’s top spot. The Golden State Valkyries could overtake Las Vegas for second place with a win over the Los Angeles Sparks on Sunday.
Jackie Young led the Aces with 23 points, with Wilson adding 16 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks. NaLyssa Smith notched 14 points, 11 boards and 4 assists. Las Vegas is now 22-10 for the season.
With 11 games remaining on the Lynx’s regular-season schedule and 12 games left for the Aces, the reigning WNBA champions still have an opportunity to catch Minnesota for the league’s No. 1 seed going into the playoffs. But Saturday’s win not only created some separation but perhaps established the Lynx’s status as the WNBA’s best team right now.
The WNBA schedule maker did the Aces no favors, giving them a brutal three-game stretch this week that began with Thursday’s 86-84 overtime win over the Indiana Fever. Following Saturday’s defeat, Las Vegas plays the second end of back-to-back games with a matinee matchup on Sunday versus the New York Liberty at Barclays Center.
