Wilson posted an insane stat line to lead the Aces to the 96-81 victory, finishing with 35 points, 13 rebounds, six assists, three steals and three blocks. She also shot 66.7 percent from the field, while going 10-of-10 from the charity stripe.
With her incredible performance, Wilson set a couple of records in the process. According to the WNBA, the Aces star is now the first player to have at least 35 points, 10 rebounds, three steals and three blocks in a game.
The three-time MVP is also the first WNBA player ever to have multiple games with a 35-point, 10-rebound and five-assist game.

After learning of her historic performance, A’ja Wilson was quick to react on social media. She shared the WNBA’s announcement on her Instagram Stories along with a simple but powerful caption.
“Top Tier Blessings,” Wilson wrote, along with a ladder emoji, seemingly signifying that she’s climbing up the record books.

The Aces are 3-2 so far on the season, good for third in the Western Conference behind the Minnesota Lynx and Phoenix Mercury.
With Wilson back to her MVP form, though, Las Vegas should be able to compete for a top seed as the season progresses.
