Aces' A'ja Wilson breaks WNBA record with her 5th game scoring at least 40
A’ja Wilson had a historic night, putting on an offensive display while scoring from nearly everywhere on the court.
The four-time WNBA MVP scored 45 points to help the Las Vegas Aces beat the Connecticut Sun 101-94 on Friday night.
Wilson was an incredibly efficient 15 for 18 from the field, hitting both of her 3-point attempts.
She also made all 13 of her free throws.
It was the fifth time she has scored over 40 points — a WNBA record, breaking a tie with Breanna Stewart and Diana Taurasi.
