Four-time MVP A'ja Wilson put together another dominant performance Sunday, finishing with 30 points and 15 rebounds as the Las Vegas Aces beat the Chicago Sky 107-99 at United Center. It was Las Vegas' 14th win of the season and their second consecutive victory.
Wilson's performance came against Chicago center Kamilla Cardoso, according to ESPN. The Aces have been one of the more consistent teams in the WNBA this season, and Sunday's road win added to that profile.
Elsewhere in the league, the New York Liberty are struggling to find answers after dropping four of their last five games. Star forward Breanna Stewart called on her teammates to compete with more heart following the latest defeat, according to ESPN.
The Liberty's recent slide stands in contrast to where the team expected to be at this point in the season. Stewart's public challenge to her teammates signals that the issues are being taken seriously inside the locker room.
The two storylines represent opposite ends of the WNBA standings picture as the season moves deeper into the summer. Las Vegas appears to be building momentum, while New York is working through a difficult stretch with one of their leaders pushing for a turnaround.
