The Las Vegas Aces delivered a dominant performance Wednesday night, dismantling the Connecticut Sun 98-69 in a game that showcased the team's depth and star power. Chennedy Carter led the charge with an efficient 27 points on 13-of-16 shooting, while two-time MVP A'ja Wilson notched another double-double—her 121st career—with 22 points and 11 rebounds in just 22 minutes of play.

Las Vegas seized control early, with Carter scoring 14 points in the first half on 7-of-9 shooting to help build a 48-37 lead. Jackie Young added 10 points as the Aces shot 54% from the field, despite struggling from beyond the arc (1-of-7). The third quarter proved decisive, as the Aces outscored the Sun 30-16, capped by Carter's coast-to-coast layup at the buzzer to make it 78-53.

Young and Jewell Loyd each finished with 11 points, Cheyenne Parker-Tyus added 10, and the Aces' bench contributed a whopping 48 points. For Connecticut (0-3), Aneesah Morrow posted 16 points and 11 rebounds, while Olivia Nelson-Ododa chipped in 14. The Sun struggled offensively, shooting just 33% from the field and 23% from three, while being outrebounded 46-29. Notably, Brittney Griner (left foot) and Aaliyah Edwards (left thigh) were sidelined.

In a major off-court development, the WNBA and NBA board of governors approved the sale and relocation of the Sun to Houston, announced earlier Wednesday. The teams will meet again Friday in Connecticut, with the Aces looking to build on this momentum and the Sun seeking their first win of the season.
