She scored 21 points off the bench — matching Wilson's points total — to help lead the Aces to an 89-86 win over the Mercury on Friday night. Former All-Star Jewell Loyd moved to the Aces’ bench in late July when the team was struggling, and it’s one of the reasons they managed to come back from a rough start to the season.
