Las Vegas Aces won Game 1 of WNBA Playoffs
Among the competitors, Minnesota Lynx rookie star Napheesa Collier took second place. Indiana Fever rookie standout Caitlin Clark made history by placing fourth and breaking into the top five MVP voting. Wilson overcame a poor start to lead her side to a vital Game 1 victory against the Seattle Storm, displaying prime MVP form.
Wilson had a disappointing first half, scoring only four points on one of her eight shots. However, in the second half, she held her ground and finished with 21 points, eight rebounds, and five blocks. Guard Tiffany Hayes had an incredible effort off the bench, scoring 20 points on 8 of 12 shots, including a crucial 12-point surge in the second quarter, to go along with her outstanding performance. In order to continue their run at playoff glory, the Aces, who are going for a remarkable third straight WNBA title, will want to capitalize on this momentum in Game 2.
