Four games across the WNBA and ACB produced a clean split between blowouts, control wins and one possession drama on June 12.
The Las Vegas Aces authored the highest-scoring performance of the night, beating Portland W 105-89 on the road. Dallas also created separation in an 85-70 win over Phoenix, while Valencia took care of Joventut Badalona 90-76 in ACB play. The closest result came in Washington, where the Mystics held off Toronto Tempo W 86-85.
Las Vegas Hits Triple Digits in Portland
Las Vegas Aces W set the pace for the entire slate, scoring 105 points in a 16-point road win over Portland W. It was the only game of the night to reach triple digits and the largest offensive output among the four contests.
The Aces’ 105-89 result stood out not just for the scoring total, but for the margin. On a night with two WNBA games decided by 15 points or more, Las Vegas delivered the more forceful offensive statement, stretching the game beyond Portland’s ability to keep pace.
Dallas Controls Phoenix
Dallas Wings W beat Phoenix Mercury W 85-70, turning a home matchup into a 15-point win. The final score reflected a game defined by separation rather than late-game volatility.
For Dallas, the value was in control. Holding Phoenix to 70 points gave the Wings one of the stronger defensive results of the night, while their 85 points were enough to keep the Mercury from applying meaningful scoreboard pressure.
Valencia Handles Joventut in ACB Action
Valencia defeated Joventut Badalona 90-76 in the lone ACB game on the schedule. The 14-point margin kept the game in line with the night’s broader theme: teams establishing enough distance to avoid late possession pressure.
Valencia’s 90-point output was the second-highest score of the four-game slate, trailing only Las Vegas. In a compact schedule, that kind of offensive production separated Valencia from a Joventut side that finished at 76.
Mystics Survive Toronto by One
Washington Mystics W delivered the night’s only one-possession finish, edging Toronto Tempo W 86-85. In a slate otherwise defined by double-digit margins, Washington-Toronto supplied the late-game tension.
The one-point result was the clear outlier. While Dallas, Las Vegas and Valencia all won with room to breathe, Washington had to protect the smallest possible margin to close out Toronto.
