One game on the Sunday slate, and it delivered a dominant road performance from the Las Vegas Aces. Golden State had the early lead after the first quarter, but Las Vegas seized control in the third with a 29-13 frame that blew the game open and ended any real suspense. The Aces won going away, 91-81, behind a vintage A'ja Wilson performance and an efficient all-around game from Jackie Young. Here's how it all went down.

Las Vegas Aces 91, Golden State Valkyries 81

Golden State led 23-21 after one quarter and looked like they might be able to neutralize the Aces the way they have neutralized opponents all season. Then Las Vegas woke up. The Aces outscored the Valkyries 22-18 in the second quarter, then absolutely buried them with a 29-13 third quarter that extended their lead to as many as 24. Golden State's fourth quarter (27-19) provided cosmetic improvement but nothing close to a real threat. Final: Las Vegas 91, Golden State 81.

A'ja Wilson was the story from start to finish. She put up 28 points on 11-of-22 shooting with 15 rebounds, four assists, four blocks, and six free throw makes on seven attempts. Her double-double included five offensive rebounds, six of which she converted into second-chance points at an 85.7 percent rate. Wilson scored 18 of her points in the paint, attacked the rim with purpose all night, and finished with an efficiency score of 42, the highest of the game by a significant margin. The third quarter belonged to her almost entirely. Jackie Young was equally impressive in a different way, going 9-of-17 from the field (5-of-9 from three) for 23 points with nine assists, two steals, and a 4.5 assist-to-turnover ratio. Young's ability to hit five threes while also running the offense with nine assists and just two turnovers gave Las Vegas a guard performance that the Valkyries had no answer for. Stephanie Talbot added 10 points off the bench with seven rebounds and four assists on a 4.0 assist-to-turnover ratio, providing depth production that kept Golden State from mounting any real second-half charge. NaLyssa Smith shot 7-of-9 from the field for 15 points with nine rebounds and 75.9 percent true shooting. Las Vegas had four players in double figures and generated 20 second-chance points on 72.7 percent conversion from second-chance opportunities. Their 26 assists on 33 made field goals was elite ball movement throughout.

Golden State had enough pieces to keep it respectable but never enough to change the game's fundamental direction. Gabby Williams was the Valkyries' best performer, going 6-of-14 from the field (4-of-6 from three) for 20 points with a perfect 4-of-4 from the free throw line, two steals, and 63.5 percent true shooting. She was the one Golden State player who consistently made Las Vegas work. Janelle Salaun added 16 points on 5-of-13 shooting with three made threes and 100 percent fast-break conversion (1-of-1), though her minus-12 reflected how thoroughly Las Vegas dominated stretches when she was on the floor. Kayla Thornton shot 4-of-7 from three for 12 points, and Kiah Stokes pulled down seven defensive rebounds in a quietly physical performance. The Valkyries' core problem on the night was two-point shooting: 23.1 percent (9-of-39), compared to Las Vegas's 53.2 percent (25-of-47). When the paint production is that lopsided, there is no amount of three-point shooting that compensates. Veronica Burton shot just 3-of-9 for seven points and was minus-15 in a night where the Aces' physicality clearly disrupted her usual rhythm at the point of attack.

One game, one dominant performance. Las Vegas came into San Francisco and reminded everyone why A'ja Wilson is the most complete player in the WNBA. Her 28-15 double-double with four blocks in a road win is the kind of showing that defines what contenders look like in May. Young's 23-point, nine-assist night alongside her was the perfect complement. Golden State played hard and Williams gave them everything she had, but the Aces' third-quarter explosion took the game off the table before the Valkyries could find an answer. Las Vegas leaves the Bay Area with a statement result.

Star of the Night: A'ja Wilson, Las Vegas Aces

28 points | 11-of-22 FG | 6-of-7 FT | 15 rebounds | 4 assists | 4 blocks | 85.7% second-chance conversion | Efficiency score 42

This is not a close call. Wilson's 28-15 double-double with four blocks in a road win is the most dominant individual performance of the night and among the best of the WNBA season so far. The 85.7 percent second-chance conversion rate, the 18 paint points, and the four blocks defined how Las Vegas won the game physically in the paint all night long.

Dud of the Night: Veronica Burton, Golden State Valkyries

7 points | 3-of-9 FG | 1-of-3 from three | 5 assists | 2 turnovers | minus-15

After a 25-point, five-block performance two nights prior against Indiana, Burton ran into a Las Vegas defense that had no patience for her usual penetration game. Seven points on nine shots with a minus-15 in a home loss that was decided in the third quarter reflects a night where the Aces' physicality took her completely out of her comfort zone. Golden State needed more from their primary ball-handler when Wilson and Young were controlling the game.
