The Las Vegas Aces secured a thrilling 77-75 victory over the Chicago Sky in a game that came down to the wire.

A'ja Wilson, the Aces' MVP candidate, played a pivotal role in securing the win with a buzzer-beater that left the Sky reeling.

Despite a somewhat shaky start, Wilson's leadership and on-court performance propelled the Aces to victory. She finished the game with 20 points and an impressive 18 rebounds, marking her 18th double-double of the season.

While her shooting performance may not have been at its best, going 8-for-28 from the field, Wilson's game-winning shot ultimately overshadowed any earlier struggles.

Kelsey Plum also made significant contributions to the Aces' win, notching 18 points and playing a key role in the final play that set up Wilson's game-winner.

Chelsea Gray, with 11 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists, also played a crucial part in the Aces' victory, including an assist on Wilson's game-winning shot.

The Aces' depth has been a concern throughout the season, making Megan Gustafson's performance in this game particularly noteworthy.

The former Iowa star stepped up with her first double-digit scoring game of 2024, adding 13 points on 5-for-8 shooting, including three 3-pointers. Her unexpected contribution provided a much-needed boost for the Aces and showcased the team's potential for greater depth.

While the Aces held a significant lead at one point, the Sky mounted a late-game comeback, cutting the deficit to just three points. Chennedy Carter's clutch 3-pointer with 1.1 seconds left tied the game, setting the stage for Wilson's heroics at the buzzer.

The Sky may not have emerged victorious, but they put up a strong fight. Carter led her team with 25 points, while Angel Reese made history with a remarkable performance, tallying 11 points and an astonishing 22 rebounds.

Reese's rebounding prowess set a new WNBA record, making her the first player to achieve three consecutive 20-rebound games.

Wilson's game-winning shot exemplified her ability to rise to the occasion when it mattered most, despite facing challenges earlier in the game. Her resilience and determination were evident as she delivered when her team needed her most.

Reese's exceptional rebounding performance further solidified her status as a standout rookie in the league. Her historic achievement underscores her impact on the court and sets a new standard for rebounding excellence in the WNBA.

Gustafson's unexpected contribution from beyond the arc provided a much-needed spark for the Aces and highlighted her versatility as a player. Her ability to adapt and expand her game has proven invaluable for the team, offering a potential solution to their depth concerns.

The thrilling conclusion of this game serves as a testament to the competitive spirit and resilience of both teams. While the Aces emerged victorious, the Sky's tenacity and individual performances left a lasting impression.

As the season progresses, all eyes will be on A'ja Wilson, Angel Reese, and Megan Gustafson as they continue to make significant contributions to their respective teams.
