It was revealed Sunday that Las Vegas Aces center A'ja Wilson won WNBA MVP with 51 out of a possible 72 first-place votes; Collier received 18 first-place votes. It was a wider margin than expected, especially as Collier was regarded as the favorite until an ankle injury on Aug. 2 kept her out of action for three weeks.

The Las Vegas Aces said they spent about 90 percent of practice Saturday focused on defense, knowing what offensive firepower awaited them in the Indiana Fever. It still wasn’t enough. Indiana dominated the No.

After a thrilling opening round, the field is down to four as the best-of-five Semi-Finals tip off on Sunday with an ABC/ESPN doubleheader.

Each player received 29 votes from the 72 media members who participated. It's the first time the award, first given out in the WNBA's inaugural season in 1997, went to more than one player.

WNBA teams were 1-90 when trailing by 14+ points in the fourth quarter of a playoff game before Minnesota's dramatic comeback.
