Jackie Young Triple-Double Leads Aces Past Dream

Las Vegas Aces claimed a 109-87 road victory over the Atlanta Dream at State Farm Arena, with Jackie Young’s 28-point, 11-rebound, 10-assist triple-double providing the pivotal performance. The Aces turned a narrow opening-period deficit into control through the middle two quarters to improve to 21-9.

Atlanta began brightly and held a 24-22 advantage after the first period, but Las Vegas found a far more efficient attacking rhythm in the second. The Aces outscored the Dream 33-14 before halftime, using sharp ball movement and high-percentage finishing to turn a two-point deficit into a 17-point lead.

The visitors maintained that command after the interval, winning the third period 31-24 to extend their advantage. Atlanta produced a stronger closing period, 25-23, but the earlier deficit proved too substantial to recover as Las Vegas saw out a composed road result.
