Indiana Fever. Aces' Becky Hammon compared the Fever's play to an NFL game and took aim at the referees

When A'ja Wilson delivered a standout performance in Game 2 of the WNBA semifinals scoring 25 points and grabbing nine rebounds, many were not surprised by the fact that Las Vegas Aces dominated the Indiana Fever 90-68 and tied up the semis. After Wilson's impressive performance, many basketball analysts keep stating that Indiana did not get the most out of their stars.

However, Jay indicated the Fever's offense did not have enough options to exploit Aliyah Boston's great momentum. Indiana's failure to adapt left Las Vegas setting the tempo, placing extra pressure on the Fever's secondary scorers. Jay put this situation as the main reason why the Fever was surpassed.

Despite her defensive great performance in Game 1, where she limited Wilson to a just 16.7% shooting over 35 possessions, Boston's offensive role was diminished in Game 2, making A'ja Wilson's performance standout as ir did. WNBA analyst Alicia Jay expressed disappointment, stating:

"They need to get that ball to her more. Aliyah is a key player on that team." Jay pointed out the need for Boston to be more effective and have enough support complementing her, especially as other key players, like Kelsey Mitchell, struggled offensively too.

When the series returns to Indiana for Game 3, changes will be needed. The Fever must decide whether to continue attempting to contain Wilson or change their offense to become more similar in comparison to the Aces' firepower. Specialists are in agreement that how Indiana responds could very well determine the destiny of this tightly contested series.

Wilson, though, is all about concentration and reliability and suggests the Aces "decided to come to work" after dropping Game 1. Her play highlights having superstars available in post-season action and the necessity of the other team to plan effectively against them.
