Wilson scores 19 and the Aces hold off late surge to beat Storm 75-70
A’ja Wilson scored 19 points, Jewell Loyd hit two free throws with 6.1 seconds left and Las Vegas gave up most of a 17-point lead before the Aces beat the Seattle Storm 75-70. Loyd, who was traded to Las Vegas in January after 10 seasons with the Storm, finished with 10 points and four steals. The Storm cut their deficit — from 64-47 with 9:41 to play — to 73-70 after Gabby Williams made a layup with 37.8 seconds left. Seattle forced a shot-clock violation to take possession with 13.1 seconds remaining but Malonga missed a turn-around jumper in the lane four seconds later. Williams hit four 3-pointers and finished with 20 points for Seattle.
