A'ja Wilson ties WNBA record with 53 points in Aces' win
A'ja Wilson matched the single-game WNBA scoring record of 53 points to fuel the visiting Las Vegas Aces to a 112-100 victory over the Atlanta Dream on Tuesday night.
Wilson became the third player in WNBA history to eclipse 50 points in a single game, joining Liz Cambage (53 in 2018) and Riquna Williams (51, 2013).
Wilson made 16 of 23 shots from the floor and was 20-of-21 from the foul line, the most free throws she has attempted and made in a game for her career.
The two-time WNBA MVP eclipsed her previous career high of 40 points, set during Las Vegas' 113-89 win over the Washington Mystics on Aug. 11.
