PHOENIX — The Aces are atop the basketball world again.

A’ja Wilson scored 31 points and grabbed nine rebounds, and the Aces completed a four-game sweep of the Phoenix Mercury to win their third WNBA championship in four years with a 97-86 win in Game 4 at Mortgage Matchup Center on Friday.

Jackie Young had 18 points, seven rebounds and eight assists, while Wilson made up for a rough shooting night by going 17-of-19 from the free-throw line.

The Aces led by as many as 20 in the first half, but the Mercury cut the lead to six in the fourth quarter. Phoenix coach Nate Tibbetts was ejected in the third quarter after receiving double technicals.

Mercury guard Kahleah Copper scored a team-high 30 points before fouling out.
