Kelsey Plum scored 23 points, Jackie Young scored on a putback with 4.3 seconds left, and Ji-Su Park blocked the game-winning shot as the Las Vegas Aces defeated the Phoenix Mercury 84-83 in the regular-season finale on Sunday in Phoenix, Ariz.

Plum scored 13 straight Las Vegas points, including the final seven of the game, to bring the Aces within 83-82 with less than a minute remaining.

Plum drove again, but her attempt rimmed out, allowing Young to throw in the game-winning shot.

As time expired, Brianna Turner drove to the hoop for the Mercury, but her short floater was blocked by Park.

Behind Plum, Las Vegas had balanced scoring, with Riquna Williams scoring 13 points and Chelsea Gray and Dearica Hamby both adding 12, but most of the major players were out late.

The Mercury also rested MVP candidate Britney Griner in the second half and were missing Diana Taurasi, who is still out with an ankle ailment. Skylar Diggins-Smith led the way with 17 points, and Kia Nurse added 13, combining for seven of the 14 3-pointers.
