LAS VEGAS — Chelsea Gray had 33 points, seven rebounds and nine assists, and the Las Vegas Aces wrapped up the Commissioner’s Cup for the best regular-season record in the WNBA by defeating the Seattle Storm 109-100 in a regular-season finale Sunday.

Kelsey Plum, who had 23 points for the Aces, scored seven points in the final minute. Her 3-pointer with 58 seconds left put Las Vegas up by six, and she added two more field goals as the Aces (26-10) clinched the top seed in the playoffs.
