While the NBA season is still far away, the WNBA is currently in the final stretch before the playoffs. There are high-level clashes, such as the one between double MVP A’ja Wilson and rookie Angel Reese. The Las Vegas superstar spoke out following this clash.
Since the 2023 season and the great rivalry between the New York Liberty and the Las Vegas Aces, the WNBA has reached a new level.
The level of play on the court is increasingly interesting, and the league’s superstars live up to this status by regularly putting on XXL performances. During the last Finals, even LeBron James was shocked by the talent of Marine Johannès!
Although the French guard did not return to the United States this year, due to the Paris Olympics, many eyes remain fixed on this championship thanks to rookies Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese.
They have been rivals since the NCAA, presented as unique talents, and above all followed by two very active and dedicated communities on social networks.
A’ja Wilson on her duel with Angel Reese
The Chicago center is already the best rebounder in the WNBA, she can defend at a high level, and it showed during her duel against the two-time MVP A’ja Wilson this Sunday.
After her team’s narrow victory, thanks to a buzzer beater set by her, Wilson returned to this duel at the top and on her opponent’s defensive approach:

I took 13 shots in the first quarter alone because they were there… I was just very frustrated not to be able to make them. It’s not like me to miss so much.
I think the lesson is that I kept shooting. I took what the defense gave me, and they gave me open shots from mid-range. My teammates told me to keep going.
I took the openings, but I kept Chicago alive.
Favorite to win another MVP title this season, A’ja Wilson was clumsy against Chicago with a small 8/28 shooting.
She was frustrated, but had to respect the game against the sometimes lax defense of Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso.
We give her shots, she takes them, that’s what a superstar is. And then, she scored the most important basket of the game, that’s what counts.
Angel Reese did a good job defensively on A’ja Wilson, sometimes taking the risk of letting her shoot from mid-range, her preferred zone.
Clumsy, the MVP kept her opponents alive for a good while, which will probably not happen again in the future.
