MINNEAPOLIS — The Las Vegas Aces won a WNBA record-tying fifth straight game by 15 points after beating the Minnesota Lynx 98-81 on Saturday.

A'ja Wilson scored 35 points on 14-of-17 shooting and grabbed 14 rebounds to secure the victory. The defending champion Aces have cruised to a 21-2 record, winning 13 of those games by at least 15 points — tied for the third-most in a season.

Their plus-357 point differential is the best over any 23-game span in league history. Wilson made some history of her own, becoming just the third player to score at least 35 points, grab 10-plus rebounds and shoot 80% or better from the field.

Jackie Young had 19 points, five rebounds and five assists for Las Vegas. Kelsey Plum scored 16 points and Alysha Clark contributed 11.
