SEATTLE (AP) --- Jackie Young tied the WNBA record for points in a quarter with
22 in the first and finished with a career-high 35, and the Las Vegas Aces beat
the Seattle Storm 114-77 on Thursday night in their first game after the FIBA

The Aces (28-13) are 1 1/2 games behind second-place Golden State, and a game
in front of Atlanta, in the WNBA standings. The top four have home-court
advantage in the best-of-three first round of the playoffs.
A'ja Wilson scored 29 points for the Aces. Las Vegas had its highest-scoring
game since it set franchise's record in a 118-95 win over Atlanta on July 4,
2021.
Young tied the quarter mark shared by Jewell Loyd, Brittney Sykes and Diana
Taurasi. Picked No. 1 overall in the 2019 draft, Young was 8 of 9 from the
field, 3 of 4 from 3-point range and 3 of 3 on free throws.
Flau'jae Johnson led Seattle with 25 points and Natisha Hiedeman added 12
points and seven assists. Stefanie Dolson scored 11 points and Dominique
Malonga 10.
The WNBA-worst Storm (8-33) have lost five of six.
