Jackie Young dropped a season-high 32 points, including five threes, to lead the Las Vegas Aces to an 83-76 win over the Washington Mystics and clinch playoff-bound status. Her clutch fourth-quarter run — 12 straight points capped by a dagger three with 4 minutes left — gave the Aces a ten-point lead they never surrendered. A’ja Wilson added 15, while Young was lights-out from the field (10-14) and the line (7-8). Despite Shakira Austin’s 29 points and Sonia Citron’s 17/8, the Mystics fell short. The Aces now sit one game behind second-place Golden State and are primed for a deep postseason run. Both teams return Saturday: Mystics host LA Sparks, Aces face Minnesota Lynx at home.
