The four-time MVP led her team to a 102-85 victory, showcasing her offensive and defensive prowess. Wilson finished the game with a double-double of 38 points and 16 rebounds, tying her career-high in both categories. Her impressive 38 points and 16 rebounds were the first in WNBA history to achieve a 75% field goal percentage. Wilson also became the first player in WNBA history to score at least 20 points, three blocks, and two steals in a single half, marking her 11th career postseason game with such stats. The Aces' star player remained humble about her achievement, stating that it's her job to perform at a high level and allow her teammates to succeed. Her historic performance has earned her the AP Player of the Year award, and many believe it will lead to her fifth WNBA MVP title.",
