Kelsey Plum scored 14 of her 23 points in the third quarter for Las Vegas (30-4).

Chicago got off to a hot start and led 50-37 at halftime. Plum started the third quarter with a 3-pointer, the first of four she hit in the frame. Her fourth one, midway through, started a run that gave the Aces a 70-68 lead going into the fourth quarter.

Copper opened the fourth with a three-point play and the Sky went up by four. But Plum's fifth triple made it 79-78 and the Aces led the rest of the way. Las Vegas finished 18 of 18 from the foul line.
