After narrowly missing out on her third MVP award last season, A’ja Wilson has started this season on a mission, and her tremendous form continued on Wednesday night in the Las Vegas Aces’ 80-66 win over the host Minnesota Lynx.
Wilson’s jumper wasn’t falling, but she was unstoppable around the basket, where she finished time and again with an array of moves. Wilson ended the night with 29 points, 15 rebounds, three assists, two steals and four blocks. She scored 16 of those points in the second half as the Aces pulled away, improving to 4-1.
Wilson has now put up at least 20 points and 10 rebounds in all five of the Aces’ games this season, which is the longest such streak in WNBA history. Here’s a look at the players that she surpassed:
