Thank you for watching
Wilson’s on-court performance was stellar. She spearheaded the Aces to an 89-80 victory over the Mercury, contributing 30 points, 13 rebounds, and five assists.
Her dominance was evident, and she looked exceptional on the court, not just because of her footwear. Jackie Young also had a significant impact, scoring 23 points, while Kelsey Plum added 19 points to secure the win.
