Washington Mystics vs. Las Vegas Aces players stats and box score | July 4, 2024

The Las Vegas Aces rolled to their sixth-straight win after recording a blowout 98-77 win over the Washington Mystics at Michelob Ultra Arena on Thursday. Kelsey Plum set up the fireworks with a game-high 28 points as the Aces' meteoric ascent continued to 12-6 for the season so far. The Mystics were left with a sputtering offense, and equally questionable defense as the loss pegged them to 5-16.

The Aces rebounded with Chelsea Gray's return, and with A'ja Wilson and Jackie Young dishing out scintillating performances, the defending champions have finally looked the part after enduring a shaky start to the season. They have been assertive on both ends of the floor, and Gray's facilitating has largely brought about the change as LV guns back to contention.

The win sees them improve to 12-6 and win seven of their last 10 games. With this, here's a look at the player stats and the box score of both these teams.
