A’ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces simply refused to go to Indianapolis down 0-2.

The four-time MVP set the tone early and finished with 25 points as the Aces got one back against the Indiana Fever, 90-68, in Game 2 to pull even in their best-of-five WNBA semifinal series.

Just days after a shocking 89-73 series-opening loss, the rejuvenated Aces bounced back in dominant fashion, leading by as many as 26 points and shooting 54% from the field.

Wilson added nine rebounds, five steals while NaLyssa Smith chipped in 18 points, and Jackie Young and Jewell Loyd combined for 23.

Las Vegas scored 22 points off 28 Indiana turnovers and will try to take series control for the first time in Game 3 when the matchup resumes Saturday, September 27, at 7:30 a.m. (Philippine time).

Meanwhile, Kelsey Mitchell was held to 13 points after erupting for a playoff career-high 34 in Game 1.

Odyssey Sims led Indiana with 18 points in the loss as the Fever shot just 38% and had no answers for Las Vegas this time.
