It worked out perfectly for Las Vegas.

The zone cooled off hot-shooting Phoenix just enough to allow the Aces, who received 21 points each from A’ja Wilson and Dana Evans, to rally for an 89-86 Game 1 victory Friday night.

Wilson scored 12 points over the final 14 minutes, and Phoenix’s Satou Sabally missed a long three-pointer with two seconds left that would have tied it.

Game 2 is Sunday in Las Vegas.

‘The Mercury made six of 18 shots in the fourth quarter, including two of 12 from three-point range. They entered that period shooting 52.1%, including 50% from three.
