Liz Cambage recorded 24 points and 11 rebounds and Jackie Young added 22 points to help the Las Vegas Aces notch a 96-93 victory over the host Washington Mystics on Saturday.
Riquna Williams scored 20 points and made 4 of 6 from three-point range for the Aces (7-3). Reigning WNBA MVP A'ja Wilson had 15 points and 15 rebounds but made just three of her 14 shots.
Myisha Hines-Allen recorded season highs of 32 points and 13 rebounds for Washington (2-5). Ariel Atkins tallied 29 points and WNBA leading scorer Tina Charles had 16, more than 10 below her per-game average.
Charles showed her versatility early, hitting two three-pointers in the first half. While Charles claimed she wasn't concerned about guarding the 6ft 8in Cambage in a recent press conference, the rest of the Mystics' defense seemed troubled by her size.
Cambage had a dominant game, and with 7:17 left in the second quarter, she laughed as she scored on Charles with a jump hook in the post.
With under three minutes remaining, Atkins hit back-to-back threes as part of a 13-0 run. Hines-Allen tied the game at 90 on two free throws with a minute left.
Wilson drove to the rim to give the Aces a 92-90 advantage with 41.2 seconds left. Wilson later intercepted an inbound pass from Charles in the final seconds to seal the game.

Wheeler and Amanda Zahui B combined to make three of four foul shots in the final 30 seconds to put the game away and hand the Sky their seventh straight setback.
Zahui B and Te'a Cooper each added 13 points for the Sparks (4-3), who own three wins over Chicago. Nia Coffey chipped in 10 as Los Angeles won their second straight game without leading scorer Nneka Oguwmike (knee sprain).
Kahleah Copper scored 15 points for the Sky (2-7), who played without Candace Parker (sprained ankle) for the eighth straight game. Ruthy Hebard came off the bench to add 14 and Diamond DeShields hit for 10 points.
