Kelsey Plum hit a floater that gave the Aces a 53-47 lead with 6:33 left in the third quarter. They then went scoreless for nearly five minutes. New York responded with a 14-0 run, including six points from Jones, to take the lead for good.

Kate Martin hit a 3-pointer to break the Las Vegas scoring drought with 1:47 left in the period, and A'ja Wilson followed with a bucket in the lane. That cut the deficit to 61-58 but the Aces got no closer.
