over the No. 3 Connecticut Sun in Game 1 of the WNBA Finals in front of a record 10,135 fans at Michelob ULTRA Arena on Sunday afternoon. Game 2 is 9 p.m. ET Tuesday in Las Vegas.
Wilson, buoyed by a frenetic fan base that chanted “MVP” during her free-throw attempts, scored 24 points and added 11 rebounds in a highly competitive game. The Aces needed every one of her points, too, as outside of Chelsea Gray, the team struggled to get going. This was exactly the kind of basketball that the Sun wanted to play. And it’s what presented the most matchup problems for the Aces.
The Sun pestered the Aces with deflections, and their swarming defense held the Aces to just nine points in the second quarter as the Sun took a 38-34 lead into halftime.Brionna Jones came up big in the first half for the Sun, scoring 10 of her 12 points before halftime. The Aces built an eight-point lead with 2:40 remaining in the game before Connecticut forward Alyssa Thomas scored six points, four off Las Vegas turnovers. Thomas finished with 19 points and 11 rebounds.
