Wilson drops 34 as Aces tie franchise mark in 12th straight win - ESPN

The Las Vegas Aces beat the Atlanta Dream 81-75 on Wednesday, tying a franchise record with their 12th victory in a row and moving into second place in the WNBA standings.

As has been the case throughout their red-hot August run, the Aces were led by A'ja Wilson with 34 points, 9 rebounds and 4 blocks. Teammate Jackie Young had her second triple-double of the season with 10 points, 10 assists and 11 rebounds.

The Aces became the 10th WNBA team to win at least a dozen games in a row in a season. That includes the 2000 Los Angeles Sparks, who went 28-4 and had two 12-game winning streaks that year.

The Las Vegas franchise also had a 12-game winning streak in 2012, when the team was still in San Antonio as the Silver Stars. Current Aces coach Becky Hammon was a starter on that San Antonio team, but said Wednesday she didn't recall that streak, which spanned June 24 to Aug. 21, 2012. The Silver Stars finished 21-13 that season.

But of her 2025 Aces, who during July were battling to maintain a .500 record, Hammon said, «They're making their presence felt.»

Wilson now has 11 games of 30 or more points this season, tying her career best set last year, when she won her third MVP award. The WNBA season record is 12 30-plus games, achieved by Wilson's Aces teammate Jewell Loyd in 2023, when she played for Seattle, and the Minnesota Lynx's Maya Moore in 2014.

According to ESPN Research, Wilson has the WNBA record for most games in a season with 30 or more points while shooting 60% or better from the field. This was her sixth such game, breaking a tie with Houston's Cynthia Cooper, who had five in 1997, the WNBA's inaugural season.

«I try to make my workouts and my practices very gamelike, so it's familiar,» Wilson said about her
