A'ja Wilson Puts Up a Historic Performance in Aces-Fever Game 1
Aces star A'ja Wilson put her name in the history books in more than one way during Sunday's massive Game 1 win over the Fever.
Las Vegas Aces star Aja Wilson delivered a historic performance in the first game of her team's WNBA playoff series against the Indiana Fever. The four-time MVP led her team to a 102-85 victory, showcasing her offensive and defensive prowess.
