The Aces beat the Storm 85-72 on Tuesday at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle.
The win clinched at least the No. 4 WNBA playoff seed and home-court advantage in the first round for the Aces (26-13), putting them two games ahead of the No. 5 Storm (24-15).
Five Aces scored in double figures. With her third board in the first quarter and 447th of the season, A’ja Wilson broke the WNBA record for rebounds in a season.
Wilson finished with 21 points and seven rebounds, and Kelsey Plum also had 21 points and seven rebounds.
Nneka Ogwumike had 19 points for the Storm. The team was without guard Jewell Loyd and center Ezi Magbegor.
The Aces can still earn the No. 3 playoff seed with a victory in the regular-season finale against the Dallas Wings (9-30) at 7 p.m. Thursday at Michelob Ultra Arena, coupled with a home loss by the Connecticut Sun (27-12) against the Chicago Sky (13-26) at 4 p.m. Thursday.
