A'ja Wilson · On the day she picked up her second league MVP award in the past three years, A’ja Wilson had something special planned for the home crowd. With her Las Vegas Aces clinging to a two-point fourth quarter lead in Game 1 of the WNBA Finals, Wilson first proves her mettle on the defensive end by swatting away a Connecticut Sun shot underneath that would have tied the score. Her teammates push the tempo while leading the counterattack as Wilson trails the play up the floor, ultimately using her athleticism to blow by the defense and put herself in the perfect spot to accept a wide-open pass in the lane for an easy bucket. The momentum-swinging sequence kept the Aces in front for good, as the four-time All-Star’s 24 points, 11 rebounds, four blocks and two steals unlocked a 67-64 victory on September 11, 2022. · State of Mint · State of Mint
