A'ja Wilson drops WNBA season-high 42, but Wings top Aces

The two-time defending champion Las Vegas Aces got 42 points from star A'ja Wilson on Tuesday, the most any WNBA player has scored in a game this season, but it wasn't enough as the Aces lost 93-90 to the Dallas Wings.

The loss dropped the Aces to 18-12 and fifth in the standings.

"We didn't defend, we fouled and we didn't rebound. And we shot the 3 terrible again," Aces coach Becky Hammon said. "So it's a bad combination."

Las Vegas lost just six games in the regular season and once in the playoffs last year in winning its second WNBA title in a row. But even though Wilson is the heavy favorite for 2024 MVP -- she is averaging 27.1 points per game, the most ever through 30 games in league history -- the Aces have been struggling this year.
