A’ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces won Game 3 of the WNBA Finals 90-88 over the Phoenix Mercury on Wednesday night, taking a commanding 3-0 series lead.
The victory puts the Aces one win away from the championship title.
For Aces head coach Becky Hammon, she didn’t need to design an intricate final play to beat the Mercury. She has arguably the most capable player in the league: Wilson.
What Hammon told Wilson during the final huddle proved just how much trust she has in her superstar.
