Las Vegas Aces Keep Winning Streak Alive With Victory Over Phoenix Mercury

The Aces are ALL IN!

The Las Vegas Aces have extended their winning streak to nine consecutive games on Thursday night with their victory over the Phoenix Mercury, 83-61.

The Aces held the Mercury to 61 points, with multiple players scoring double-digits. This win pushed them into the No. 3 spot in the WNBA standings, with just seven more games in the regular season.

It's now nine and counting!

The Aces' 9-game winning streak matches the longest regular-season run since the franchise relocated to Las Vegas. It also marks the second-longest winning streak in franchise history.

In 2023, the Aces also notched nine straight victories between June 11 and July 5. The 2012 San Antonio Silver Stars hold the all-time franchise record with 12 consecutive wins.

The team's ninth consecutive win was once again in front of a sold-out arena, making this their 45th consecutive sell-out.

Five players scored between 12 and 19 points - A'ja Wilson had 19 points, Dana Evans scored 17, and Chelsea Gray, NaLyssa Smith, and Jackie Young each added 12 points.

Gray entered the game needing three defensive rebounds to reach 1,000 for her career, and she grabbed exactly three! Wilson's double-double was the 117th of her career, which makes her the No. 5 among all-time WNBA leaders.

Halftime was all about the pups!

Aces player, Megan Gustafson's pup Pancake hosted the first annual Corgi race and the corgis in attendance were ready for the challenge. There's nothing cuter than seeing those short little legs crossing the court in a fun race that had the crowd cheering.

A corgi champion was crowned at the end of two rounds - Frankie!

Pancake was there on the sideline watching the action decked out in a No. 17 jersey.

Just a few days ago, Gustafson released her children's book all about Pancake titled, "Pancake's Passport."

She announced the book's release in an Instagram post.

"Book Release Day is HERE! Pancake’s Passport is officially out in the world today! Join Pancake and myself on fun and faith-filled adventures and grab your copy now," the caption reads.

"Available on Amazon now (link in bio!) or head to pancakespassport.com for everything in one place. Thank you for all the love + support—it means the world to me and Pancake."

As the regular season winds down, the action heats up.
