Las Vegas Aces 2022 season: 26–10, scoring 90.4 points per game and allowing 84.1 (+6.4 average margin) across 36 games. Updated August 16, 2026.
The Aces finished 26–10, 1st in the league standings, with a +7.7 net rating that ranked 2nd of 12. This was an offense-first team — 1st in offensive rating (109.6) but 6th on defense (102 allowed per 100). They played fast, too — 1st in pace. Their calling cards were ball security (14.1 turnovers a game, fewest) and shot-making (52.8% eFG, 2nd); the soft spot, offensive rebounding (8.4 a game, 12th). Kelsey Plum (20.2 ppg) and A'ja Wilson (19.5) carried the scoring load between them, though the on/off numbers point to A'ja Wilson as the one they can least afford to lose — +25.8 per 100 possessions better with her on the floor. The high points: a 7-game winning streak (May 13–May 31) and a 34-point rout of the Liberty on Jul 14. The lows: a 31-point loss at the Lynx on Jul 3. They went 9–7 against teams at .500 or better. Bottom line: a legitimate title contender, and a lack of second chances was the one thing that could trip them up.
Shot-zone charts shaded against the WNBA average, four factors versus opponents, most-used lineups by net rating, on/off player impact, and where the Aces rank league-wide.
