The clutch heroics of A'ja Wilson and Chelsea Gray will always be etched in the minds of WNBA fans. With the clock winding down, both of them were able to execute flawlessly for Becky Hammon's Las Vegas Aces for their 18th win of the season. While the Chicago Sky just got beat in the clutch, they did not go down without a fight. Kamilla Cardoso, in particular, was a tough shot blocker to face in this clash and Dawn Staley loved every part of it.
A game that ends with a 77-75 scoreline is usually one for the books. This game between the Aces and Sky was tightly contested which means every fan would absolutely love it. Dawn Staley, however, was extra ecstatic because she was seeing both her South Carolina women's basketball stars shine at the WNBA. Both Kamilla Cardoso and A'ja Wilson were going at each other in this late-season matchup and Dawn Staley just could not contain her emotions.
Let me tell y'all this @Kamillascsilva is giving @_ajawilson22 everything shes got, blocking her shot with the stare-down. I love it. Guess what?! A dishes it out and A can take it. The highest level of competition is knowing when your opponent made some helluva plays. Respect! the South Carolina women's basketball head coach declared.
It was not just one post that Dawn Staley made. In fact, she made a handful of them because of how insane the battle between A'ja Wilson and Kamilla Cardoso became. One of them even alluded to the fact that the South Carolina basketball program may just have one of the most intense training regimens in all of college basketball.
