Jackie Young recorded 24 points and four steals to help the Las Vegas Aces notch a 93-72 home victory over the Atlanta Dream on Tuesday night.

A’ja Wilson added 20 points and 11 rebounds as the WNBA-best Aces (24-2) won their eighth consecutive game. Kierstan Bell scored 13 of her career-high 15 points in the fourth quarter, Kelsey Plum scored 14 and Chelsea Gray had 10 points and seven assists as Las Vegas improved to 13-0 at home.

Atlanta made 43.3 percent of its shots and was just 4 of 20 (20 percent) from behind the arc. Both Rhyne Howard (six points on 3-of-10 shooting) and Allisha Gray (eight points, 3 of 11) had subpar nights.

Bell made two 3-pointers in a span of 29 seconds to start a 15-0 surge. Fellow reserve Alysha Clark also knocked down a trey to push the lead to 16.

Young added a 2-pointer, Wilson made two free throws and Young scored another basket to give Las Vegas an 84-62 lead with 5:22 remaining.

Young scored 18 points as the Aces led 54-43 at the break. Parker had 15 in the half for Atlanta.

Las Vegas led 25-22 after one quarter before making 7 of 9 3-point attempts in the second. Young was 4 of 5 from long range in the period while scoring 14 points.
