Aces Get Their Swagger Back! A'ja Wilson & Chelsea Gray GO OFF in Game 2 Win vs. Fever

The Las Vegas Aces didn't panic after a shocking Game 1 loss! The champs came out with a vengeance in Game 2, dominating the Indiana Fever with a final score of 90-68 to even the semifinals series.
​A'ja Wilson, the newly crowned MVP, was a force of nature with a monster performance that reminded everyone why she's the best in the league. She dropped 25 points and set a new playoff career high with 5 steals, all while climbing the all time playoff lists in points, rebounds, and field goals made.
​And you can't talk about this win without highlighting Chelsea Gray's masterpiece. The point guard was the ultimate floor general, orchestrating the offense with a game high 10 assists. Her playmaking was key to getting her teammates open looks and controlling the flow of the game.


​Coach Becky Hammon was fired up after the game, calling out the series' intense physicality. "The physicality is out of control," she said, even comparing the level of contact to what would cause fights in the NBA.
​NaLyssa Smith had a standout game with a playoff career high 18 points against her former team, while Jackie Young, Jewell Loyd, and Dana Evans all scored in double figures. The bench's 24-6 scoring advantage was a huge factor in the win.

​The Aces showed they can respond to adversity. Now, the series heads to Indianapolis where the champs will need to control the tempo and stay locked in on defense to take control of the series.
