A’ja Wilson led 10 of 18 shots, also had five robberies, his best personal brand in playoffs, two nights after the four times MVP scored only 6 of 22 field shots.
Las Vegas–A’ja Wilson recovered from an unusually lazy game with 25 points and nine rebounds, and Las Vegas Aces matched their series of WNBA playoffs with a overwhelming 90-68 victory in the second game over the Indiana Fever on Tuesday night.
The best five series is aimed at Indianapolis, where the third game will be played on Friday night.
Wilson led 10 of 18 shots, in addition to five robberies, his best personal brand in the playoffs, two nights after the four times MVP scored only 6 of 22 field shots. Nalysa Smith added 18 points with 7 of 9 in field shots, Jackie Young scored 13, and Jewell Loyd and Dana Evans scored 10 points each. Chelsea Gray finished with 10 assists.
Odyssey Sims led the Faver with 18 points and Lexie Hull, who was in doubt for a back injury and used a splint while he was on the bench, scored 15. Kelsey Mitchell scored 13 points and Aliyah Boston 10.
Mitchell scored 34 points in the first game and the Faver rose with an overwhelming victory for 89-73, but on Tuesday it was limited to 4 of 14 field shots.
The ACES, second to standard heads, arrived at the playoffs with a streak of 16 consecutive victories, but barely surpassed Seattle in the first round and then were crushed at home to start the series. This match, in which the ACES had an advantage of up to 26 points, resembled the team more in the WNBA streak at the end of the regular season.
But the Fever, with a less powerful team, have proven to be a difficult opponent to win. Indiana, sixth head of series, surprised Atlanta, third head of the series, in the quarterfinals and now return home with the opportunity to close the series. This despite reaching the game 2 with six players out due to injuries, including the superstar Caitlin Clark, and another in Hull clearly not in its full state of health.
