Three games on the Sunday slate, and all three delivered distinct flavors. Las Vegas was in control from start to finish against a Golden State team that couldn't find a three-point answer, rolling to a 19-point win that kept the Aces rolling at the top of the Western Conference. Washington came into Minnesota, fell behind by 10, then produced a 28-point fourth quarter that shocked the Lynx into silence and snapped their home winning streak. And in Los Angeles, the Sparks handed the Liberty their second road loss in as many days, with Nneka Ogwumike's dominant double-double and a 28-assist ball movement clinic proving too much for New York to overcome despite a valiant effort from Pauline Astier off the bench. Here's how it all went down.

Golden State Valkyries 73, Las Vegas Aces 92

Golden State couldn't solve Las Vegas from the perimeter, going a brutal 5-of-30 from three (16.7 percent), and when the Valkyries couldn't shoot from deep they had no answer for the Aces' paint dominance. Las Vegas shot 62.1 percent from the field and converted 85.2 percent of their paint attempts. The biggest lead was 28. The final was 92-73 and it wasn't that close in the middle two quarters.

Jackie Young was the offensive standout, going 9-of-12 from the field (3-of-6 from three, 6-of-6 on two-pointers) for 21 points at 87.5 percent true shooting with five assists, 100 percent conversion inside at 6-of-6. A'ja Wilson anchored everything else, going 7-of-13 from the field for 19 points with nine rebounds, three assists, two blocks, and a tech foul that reflected the competitive edge she brings even in comfortable games. Chelsea Gray was surgically efficient, going 5-of-7 from the field (3-of-4 from three) for 15 points at a stunning 90.1 percent true shooting with nine assists and a 3.0 assist-to-turnover ratio. Jewell Loyd came off the bench to shoot 4-of-5 from three for 14 points on a technically perfect 100 percent true shooting mark. NaLyssa Smith went 6-of-7 for 14 points at 88.8 percent true shooting, converting both her second-chance opportunities. Las Vegas as a team had just 11 turnovers and a 1.91 assist-to-turnover ratio, moving the ball cleanly all night against a Golden State defense that never found the right coverage for Las Vegas's interior-to-perimeter attack.

Golden State's bench produced 45 points, which kept the box score from looking worse, but their starters were completely neutralized. Gabby Williams shot 36.4 percent for 10 points and was minus-23. Veronica Burton went 1-of-5 from the field for two points with a minus-15. Janelle Salaun had three turnovers and was minus-16. The Valkyries' 66.7 percent free throw shooting (12-of-18) and 10 assists against 10 turnovers on an even ratio reflected a team that was playing catch-up for 40 minutes and couldn't build any momentum. The fourth quarter went to Golden State 24-15, which was cosmetic.

LVA 92 · GSV 73

Washington Mystics 84, Minnesota Lynx 79

Minnesota led by 10 and looked like the better team for three quarters. Washington looked like the better team for one quarter, and that one quarter was enough. The Mystics scored 28 points in the fourth, Minnesota managed 19, and the deficit melted from 10 to zero to a final Washington advantage of five. It was one of the more startling fourth-quarter reversals of the WNBA season. Final: 84-79, Washington.

Sonia Citron was Washington's best individual performer, going 6-of-13 from the field for 21 points at 63.6 percent true shooting, drawing eight fouls and going 7-of-8 from the free throw line with two steals and a block. She attacked the paint aggressively in the fourth quarter when Minnesota's defense was most vulnerable, and her ability to draw contact gave the Mystics easy points when they needed momentum most. Cotie McMahon was the perimeter catalyst, going 5-of-9 from the field with a perfect 4-of-4 from three for 15 points at 75.9 percent true shooting, five assists, and a 5.0 assist-to-turnover ratio. Her four threes were the most of any player in the game and her shooting opened everything for Washington's driving lanes in the fourth. Kiki Iriafen added 17 points on 6-of-11 shooting (60.4 percent true shooting) with seven rebounds and five second-chance points. Georgia Amoore drew three fouls and went 3-of-7 for eight points with seven assists, her 1.75 assist-to-turnover ratio a cleaner playmaking night than she has shown in recent weeks.

Minnesota's collapse was partly self-inflicted. Natasha Howard led the Lynx with 20 points on 9-of-15 shooting at 63 percent true shooting, but five turnovers against two assists reflected how much Washington disrupted her usual rhythm in the fourth. Olivia Miles had 22 points on 9-of-18 shooting with six assists and four turnovers, and five personal fouls limited her ability to impact the closing minutes. The Lynx shot just 19 percent from three (4-of-21) and generated only seven bench points, both numbers that compounded the fourth-quarter collapse. Minnesota's 11 steals generated 26 points off turnovers which kept them in range, but they could never solve Washington's fourth-quarter surge.

WAS 84 · MIN 79

New York Liberty 97, Los Angeles Sparks 98

New York led by 17 in the first quarter and had every reason to feel comfortable. Then the Sparks chipped away, quarter by quarter, until it came down to the final seconds. Stewart missed one of two free throws with 26.7 seconds left to push the Liberty lead to three. Burrell answered with two free throws to bring Los Angeles within one. Stewart then missed one of two free throws again with 8.6 seconds remaining, leaving the Sparks trailing by two with the ball and almost no time. Nneka Ogwumike caught, rose, and buried a three-pointer at the buzzer. Final: 98-97, Sparks, and the building went silent. Ogwumike scored 12 of her 24 points in the fourth quarter, and the last three were the ones that will be remembered.

Ogwumike was exceptional. She went 11-of-18 from the field (2-of-4 from three) for 24 points at 66.7 percent true shooting, three steals, six rebounds, three perfect second-chance conversions, two fast-break conversions at 100 percent, and a 3.0 assist-to-turnover ratio. The efficiency score of 26 was the highest of the game. Twelve of those 24 points came in the fourth quarter, when the Sparks needed someone to will the game in their direction, and the final three came on the shot that ended it. She was the one player on either roster who consistently made the most of every opportunity all night, and then she made the most important one with no time on the clock. Erica Wheeler came off the bench for 15 points on 6-of-11 shooting with five assists at 65.6 percent true shooting and a 5.0 assist-to-turnover ratio, providing exactly the reserve spark the Sparks needed to close the first-quarter gap. Kelsey Plum orchestrated the attack with 12 points and seven assists on a 7.0 assist-to-turnover ratio (seven assists, one turnover), her clean playmaking night in contrast to her shooting (35.7 percent from the field). Dearica Hamby contributed 12 points and eight rebounds, and Ariel Atkins went 4-of-8 for 10 points with four assists and two blocks on a 4.0 assist-to-turnover ratio. As a team, the Sparks had 28 assists on 40 made field goals with nine turnovers, a 3.11 assist-to-turnover ratio that reflects elite ball movement for 40 minutes.

New York's Jonquel Jones had one of the most efficient individual performances of the game, going 6-of-9 from the field (4-of-7 from three) for 18 points at 91.1 percent true shooting with eight rebounds and three steals. Her four made threes and her ability to stretch the floor gave New York weapons they could not consistently exploit once the Sparks closed the first-quarter gap. Pauline Astier came off the bench for 17 points, going 4-of-5 from the field with a perfect 9-of-9 from the free throw line at 94.9 percent true shooting, adding five assists. Stewart had a 10-rebound double-double with 18 points and six fast-break points, but shot 47.1 percent and committed four offensive fouls. Sabrina Ionescu went 1-of-3 for two points with a minus-7, unable to generate the perimeter production the Liberty needed once the Sparks found their rhythm. New York's 17 turnovers against the Sparks' nine was the decisive margin in a game decided by one point.

LAS 98 · NYL 97

Sunday brought three results that matter in very different ways. Las Vegas keeps rolling with the kind of comfortable win over a quality opponent that reinforces their standing as the team to beat heading into late June. Washington continues to find ways to win games they have no business winning, and the Mystics' fourth-quarter identity right now is a genuine weapon. And in Los Angeles, the Liberty handed themselves one of the more painful losses of the season. Stewart missing two free throws in the final 27 seconds, each one giving the Sparks a lifeline, is the sequence that will haunt New York for a while. Ogwumike made them pay both times. With the Commissioner's Cup Final on June 30 approaching, the Liberty will need to find answers for the defensive breakdowns that allowed 60 points in the paint, and they will need to do it quickly.

Star of the Night: Nneka Ogwumike, Los Angeles Sparks

24 points | 11-of-18 FG | 6 rebounds | 3 steals | 3-of-3 second-chance conversion | 100% fast-break conversion | 66.7% true shooting | Efficiency score 26 | 12 fourth-quarter points | Buzzer-beater three to win it

In a game where New York led by 17 and had two chances in the final 27 seconds to put it away, Ogwumike was the reason the Sparks survived both times. Twelve of her 24 points came in the fourth quarter when the pressure was highest, and the final three came on a buzzer-beater three-pointer that is the shot of the WNBA season so far. This one is not close.

Dud of the Night: Gabby Williams, Golden State Valkyries

10 points | 4-of-11 FG | 0-of-4 from three | 1 turnover | minus-23 | 39.2% true shooting

Williams has been one of Golden State's most important players throughout the season, and Sunday was one of her worst individual performances. Four-of-eleven shooting, zero makes on four three-point attempts, and a minus-23 in a game where the Valkyries never found offensive traction from the perimeter tells the story. When Williams and the Valkyries' perimeter players can't shoot, there's no counter to Las Vegas's interior dominance, and Sunday proved that in the most direct way possible.
