Las Vegas Aces 2023 season: 34–6, scoring 92.8 points per game and allowing 80.3 (+12.6 average margin) across 40 games. Updated August 16, 2026.
The Aces finished 34–6, 1st in the league standings, with a +15.3 net rating that ranked 1st of 12. They won at both ends: 1st in offensive rating and 1st in defensive rating. They played fast, too — 2nd in pace. Their calling cards were shot-making (55.3% eFG, 1st) and ball security (14.3 turnovers a game, fewest); the soft spot, offensive rebounding (7.5 a game, 12th). The offense ran through A'ja Wilson, who scored 22.8 a night — 25% of the team's points, though the on/off numbers point to Kelsey Plum as the one they can least afford to lose — +26.8 per 100 possessions better with her on the floor. The high points: a 9-game winning streak (Jun 11–Jul 5) and a 41-point rout of the Storm on May 20. The lows: a 38-point loss at the Liberty on Aug 6. They went 7–4 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.
