Las Vegas Aces star Aja Wilson outshone rookie sensation Caitlin Clark with a dominant performance in the team's 99-80 win over the Indiana Fever on May 25, 2024. Wilson scored a game-high 29 points and grabbed a team-leading 15 rebounds, leading the Aces to their fourth victory of the season.
The sellout crowd at Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas witnessed an intense battle between two top WNBA teams. The Fever, led by Clark's impressive playmaking abilities and scoring potential, put up a strong fight against Wilson and the defending champions. However, it was Wilson who ultimately stole the show.
Wilson made 12 of her 18 field goal attempts and shot an efficient 72.7% from the floor. Her performance was crucial as teammates Jackie Young scored 22 points, Kelsey Plum added 20, and rookie Kate Martin set a personal-high with 12 points.
Clark finished the game with eight points on a disappointing shooting night of just 2-of-8 from the field and 2-of-5 from three. Despite her below par performance, she still managed to contribute seven assists and five rebounds.
The Aces' victory marked their seventh sellout of the season, with 16 of their home games having sold out. The team is off to a strong start in their bid for a third consecutive championship title.
The Fever, on the other hand, continue to struggle with a record of 1-6. They will look to bounce back when they face the Los Angeles Sparks on May 28.
