The Aces got another strong performance from A'ja Wilson on Friday as they took down the Los Angeles Sparks, 96-81. The reigning WNBA MVP went off for a game-high 35 points on 12-of-18 shooting, to go along with 13 rebounds, six assists, three steals, three blocks and one triple in 36 minutes of action.
It was another stat-stuffing outing for Wilson, who once again made WNBA history with her incredible performance.
The league quickly took to social media to announce three historic milestones for the six-time All-Star. Wilson became the first player in WNBA history to record at least 35 points, 10 rebounds, three steals, and three blocks in a single game.

On top of that Wilson also tied former MVP Tina Charles for the most 35-point, 10-rebound games in league history with nine.

She also tied Hall of Famer Sylvia Fowles for the No. 2 spot for most 20-point, 10-rebound games in the WNBA with 77.
To say that it was a historic performance from Wilson would be a complete understatement.

The Aces will need more of the same from Wilson, though, if they want to continue improving on their 3-2 record. Their next game is on Sunday in a road matchup against the 3-3 Seattle Storm.
Wilson has been on a tear to start the new season, and Las Vegas will need her to keep her foot on the gas if they want to secure back-to-back wins come Sunday.
