No Shame for the League’s Top Player! Wilson Dominates with a Huge Score and Leads Team to Victory; Second 40+ Points Game in Six Days

In the early hours of September 2, the WNBA regular season continued, with the Aces defeating the Mercury 97-79 on the road, securing their second consecutive victory and consolidating their fourth place ranking in the league. Wilson once again exploded in this game, scoring 41 points and grabbing 17 rebounds, marking her second 40+ point performance within six days.

The Aces’ form after the Olympics was mediocre, having been double defeated by the Lynx and surprisingly losing to the bottom-ranked Wings. In this away game against the Mercury, the Aces unleashed a powerful offensive in the first quarter, scoring 29 points in the quarter alone and taking a 19-point lead. By halftime, the Aces were leading by 24 points. Although the Mercury managed to claw back some points in the third quarter, it wasn’t enough to turn the tide, and the Aces ultimately won 97-79, achieving their second consecutive victory and temporarily ranking fourth in the league, one win ahead of the fifth-placed Storm.

Wilson continued her recent hot streak, playing 34 minutes, shooting 16 out of 23, including 2 out of 6 from beyond the arc, and making 7 out of 9 free throws, scoring a game-high 41 points and 17 rebounds, along with 2 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block, without committing any turnovers. This is Wilson’s second 40+ point performance within six days; she scored 42 points in the game against the Wings on August 28th.

This season, Wilson leads the league in average points and blocks, ranks second in rebounds, and fourth in steals. Such a dominant performance lives up to her status as the top player in the league.
