How Wilson, Aces played against Fever

Despite Wilson’s usually historic efforts, it wasn’t enough as the Aces fell short, 90-83, to the Fever in Game 4. As a result, the series is even at two games apiece.

Las Vegas missed its chance to close out Indiana early and advance to the WNBA Finals with plenty of rest to use. Losing Game 4 means it will need to one more game in this series to have a chance at moving on to the next round.

Rebounding and free-throw shooting made the difference in this matchup. The Fever was physical on the glass as they secured 34 rebounds while making 26 shots at the line. It wasn’t the same for the Aces, who grabbed 22 rebounds and only converted eight shots at the charity stripe.

Three players scored in double-digits on Las Vegas’ behalf, including Wilson. Jackie Young had a solid display of 18 points, nine assists and five rebounds. She shot 6-of-10 overall, including 2-of-4 from downtown, and 4-of-4 from the free-throw line. Chelsea Gray came next with 12 points and nine assists, while NaLyssa Smith provided eight points and two rebounds.

The Aces will fight to keep their season alive when they host the Fever in the series-deciding Game 5 on Tuesday.
