Kelsey Plum and A’ja Wilson both scored more than 20 points, but Jackie Young came up even more clutch to help the Aces avoid another loss against the New York Liberty.
Aces guard Kelsey Plum, making her first All-Star Game appearance, scored 30 points to help teammate A’ja Wilson’s Team Wilson defeat Team Stewart on Sunday.
Jackie Young will play for Team Stewart against teammates A’ja Wilson, Dearica Hamby and Kelsey Plum and coach Becky Hammon on Team Wilson.
She faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted of large-scale transportation of drugs.
The Aces could only watch helplessly as New York Liberty star guard Sabrina Ionescu hit seven 3-pointers and had 31 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists Wednesday night.
The Aces are 2-4 in their past six games, but believe a re-energized defense, starting Wednesday against the New York Liberty, will be key to help them enter the All-Star break with momentum.
The loss was the Aces’ fourth in six games and their largest defeat this season. “They played harder, much harder,” Aces coach Becky Hammon said of the Minnesota Lynx.
Chelsea Gray scored a season-high 21 points as the Aces beat the Lynx 91-85 on Friday in the first of two consecutive games between the teams at Target Center.
The rosters for the WNBA All-Star Game were selected Saturday, with Aces star A’ja Wilson drafting Team Wilson, which will be coached by the Aces’ Becky Hammon.
