The Las Vegas Aces have done it again, and once more, it was A'ja Wilson standing tallest. The former South Carolina superstar and four-time WNBA All-Star delivered 31 points and seven rebounds to lead the Aces past the Phoenix Mercury, 97-86, on Friday night at the Mortgage Matchup Center, clinching their third championship in four years. Wilson, already the 2025 league MVP, added another p0iece of history by earning her second WNBA Finals MVP, joining elite company as one of only a handful of players to win both awards in the same season. It marks just the eighth time in league history that the regular-season MVP also captured both the championship and finals MVP honors.
