The Las Vegas Aces delivered a commanding performance in Toronto on July 20, 2026, dismantling the hometown Tempo 109-83 at Coca-Cola Coliseum in a display of offensive efficiency that left little doubt about which team controlled the contest from wire to wire.
A’ja Wilson was the engine driving Las Vegas, finishing with a game-high 26 points and 6 rebounds to pace the Aces’ attack. But the story of the night may well have been Jackie Young’s orchestration of the offense — the guard dished out a remarkable 12 assists, helping Las Vegas generate 29 team assists on the evening, a figure that underscored just how fluid and unselfish their ball movement was throughout the game.
The Aces shot a blistering 58 percent from the field, converting 45 of 78 field goal attempts. They also connected on 14 of 38 attempts from beyond the arc for a 37 percent clip from three-point range, and knocked down 5 of 6 free throws for an 83 percent mark at the line. With 31 total rebounds — 27 of them on the defensive glass — Las Vegas controlled the boards and limited Toronto’s second-chance opportunities, holding the Tempo to just the opportunities their offense could generate on first possession.
Defensively, the Aces were equally impressive, recording 6 steals and 7 blocks while committing only 7 total turnovers. That combination of defensive activity and ball security made it nearly impossible for Toronto to generate momentum at any point in the contest.
For the Tempo, Isabelle Harrison provided the lone bright spot, putting together a double-double with 26 points and 11 rebounds — matching Wilson’s scoring output but unable to carry Toronto to a competitive result on her own. Marina Mabrey led the home side with 5 assists, but the Tempo as a unit could not find answers for the Aces’ relentless offensive pressure.
The 26-point margin of defeat is a sobering result for Toronto, a franchise still finding its footing in the WNBA. While Harrison demonstrated she can go toe-to-toe statistically with some of the league’s elite, the Tempo will need far more collective contributions if they hope to compete with established powerhouses like Las Vegas. The Aces, meanwhile, reinforced their status as one of the league’s premier teams with a performance that was dominant in virtually every statistical category — shooting, playmaking, rebounding, and defense all clicking at a high level on the road.
The victory moves Las Vegas further along in what has been a strong campaign, while Toronto heads back to the drawing board after a difficult home loss in front of their fans at Coca-Cola Coliseum.
