On October 2nd, the second game of the WNBA semifinals took place. The defending champions, Las Vegas, lost to the Liberty 84-88, putting them at a disadvantage with a 0-2 series deficit.
In this game, the Aces started off well with Gray scoring 10 points in the first quarter to help the team take the lead. However, as the Liberty found their rhythm, the Aces fell behind. In the final quarter, they managed to catch up, and there were chances to tie or even take the lead in the closing moments. Unfortunately, Plum made a turnover, and Hayes missed one of her free throws, leading to a disappointing loss.
This season’s MVP, Wilson, returned to form, playing 37 minutes, making 11 of 18 shots for 24 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists, but it wasn’t enough to secure a win. Five players from the Aces scored in double figures. Besides Wilson, Young had 17 points and 6 rebounds, Gray contributed 14 points and 7 assists, Clark added 13 points, and Hayes chipped in 10 points and 6 assists. Unfortunately, Plum, who performed well in the previous game, struggled this time, only scoring 6 points on 2 of 9 shooting.
Unfortunately! Wilson’s strong performance and multiple Aces scoring in double figures still result in a loss. Author:Sports UEFA.Please indicate the source when reproduced:https://www.sportsuefa.com/basketball-headlines/47896.html
