With the playoffs in mind, it's important the team understands how temporary Sunday's heartbreak can be. That will be naught if the team can finagle a playoff berth in Weatherspoon's first season with a young team on a rebuild.
With just over a second left, A'ja Wilson snapped the Chicago Sky 's heart in two.Wilson, arguably the league's MVP, took an entry pass, sank a layup as time expired as Las Vegas won 77-75 and erased the final two minutes of a game where the Sky showed how far they've come since May.A team lacking in late-game execution that erased a double-digit deficit didn't have time to revel in it, not without the win. Sky guard Michaela Onyenwere spoke on the duality of the moment.
Aces point guard Chelesa Gray, inbounding the ball for the final shot, waited for Kelsey Plum to get Angel Reese to switch off Wilson and tossed a pass over Kamilla Cardoso that Wilson caught perfectly. She laid in the winner.As well as the Sky played in the final minutes, there are only a handful of players on the planet that could execute that final play. The right collection of those players were in Wintrust Arena Sunday."It was a perfect pass," Carter said.
