A Lone Tree Can’t Hold Up the Sky! Wilson Scores Points, Rebounds, and Blocks, but Efforts Go in Vain

On August 28th, in a regular season WNBA game, the Aces lost 90-93 to the Wings on the road, failing to secure consecutive wins.

In this game, the Aces performed very well in the early stages, maintaining a lead for the first three quarters under Wilson’s leadership. However, they were hit with a 12-6 run by the Wings at the start of the final quarter, losing the quarter by 11 points and ultimately being overturned in the last moments.

The Aces lost, but Wilson could be said to have fought bravely despite the defeat. Without her tenacious support, the Aces would have collapsed much earlier. In the first half, Wilson made 8 out of 11 shots to score the highest 17 points and 3 rebounds of the half. Throughout the entire game, Wilson started and played for 36 minutes and 45 seconds, making 16 out of 22 shots, missing both three-point attempts, and making 10 out of 13 free throws, scoring the highest 42 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 assists of the game, as well as 1 steal, 3 blocks, 1 turnover, and 2 fouls, with a plus-minus of 0.

In this game, Wilson did her best, but unfortunately, one person’s efforts were not enough. Only three players in the team scored in double digits. Of the other starters, Jackie Young scored 17 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists, while Gray contributed 15 points and 5 rebounds. The Aces’ recent form is worrying. Although they narrowly won their previous game against the Sky by 2 points, with Wilson scoring a double-double of 20 points and 18 rebounds, compared to last season, the Aces’ dominance has declined significantly.
