Aces dominate Sun, take commanding 2-0 series lead in WNBA Finals

A'ja Wilson had 26 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Las Vegas Aces to an 85-71 victory over the Connecticut Sun on Tuesday night in Game 2 of the WNBA Finals.

The Aces are now one victory away from the franchise's first championship with Game 3 on Thursday in Connecticut. Las Vegas was swept in the 2008 Finals when the team was still in San Antonio. The Aces were also swept in 2020.

Kelsey Plum rebounded from an awful Game 1 to score 20 points.

"A'ja cussed me out before the game. That's all I needed," Plum said. "About time I joined the party. They carried us all week. It's good to hit some shots, but we have one more."

After being held to a season-low 67 points in Game 1, the Aces found their offensive prowess to hit 33 of 64 (51.6%) from the floor.

Connecticut, which finished 27 of 64 (42.2%) from the field, had four players in double digits, led by Courtney Williams with 18.
