Chelsea Gray and A'ja Wilson after Aces' 93-90 loss to the Dallas Wings

Intro a you nearly shot I mean you're shooting 70% at one point can you just talk about the match up what you just face play a great game yeah A'ja: "Taking what the defense gives me." uh taking what the defense gives me is gonna always be uh what I do how I operate and uh it's I love it because it changes every game changes every possession sometimes so yeah I was just taking what the defense was giving me um and and sometimes they were giving me the drive sometimes they were giving me the right sometimes they were giving me the jumper um all of that so and I and I have to credit my teammates because they got me the basketball in the right places at the right time and they just started the fall unlike Chicago if I ask a follow question both you what do you feel like you two could change in the last possession to obviously change the outcome of this game honestly it didn't Chelsea: "Down the stretch in the fourth quarter just killed us." come down to that so I mean we got to look we got Asia shooting the basketball at the three-point line I'm confident in that so but I mean we go down the stretch in that fourth quarter just killed us um how they scored 32 points in that fourth quarter so um they don't don't even go to that last possession for real a after game against Chicago where you managed 20 points 18 rebounds I know you talked about um Challen night a 28 um shoo night but you came back with Incredible 42 points tonight um how do you mentally physically for such a turn around like that like you f that switch I professional and everything but I just you get your takee on there yeah A'ja on her mindset when she doesn't shoot well in a game to not carry it over to the next game. I mean it's all a part of the game uh I wish I could shoot perfect every game I wish I could shoot above 50% every single game but that's not always the case and I try to find myself I give myself 24 hours to not just linger in it and feel sorry for myself uh but um yeah I just kind of take like I said take what the defense gives me see what the next day looks like see what how they're guarding me and kind of go from there but I don't I'm the type of person where I don't let a lot of things linger uh because that's you it takes you out of the moment and so I try to give everything it's on space so that was Chicago cool did that awful brick B cool and I kind of flow into this game uh with the same mindset I went into the Chicago game like just doing what the defense gives me and if they fall they follow but if they don't I'm going to try to still be productive for my team and so today it was this but we didn't get the win so none of that matters follow question for Chelsea you missed the last game that yall here when you played the wings U from your perspective how can you explain like the how that match up match up then and then versus you know you watching the game and then you're playing in the game so what you know what's the difference between then and now obviously the big one is the loss but what did you see tonight with this Wings team versus how yall play tonight I mean they were all Chelsea on the differences between the Dallas Wings in this match-up compared to previous head-to-head match-ups this season. different because they didn't have Natasha Howard and satu so the matchups the movement their plays everything is different when you're missing two players like that um and then the rebounding as well and so that that changes the nature of the game um when the matchups are a little bit different um and so it came down I don't know it was 26 to 40 rebounding and then points in the paint so um they're a huge part of that rebounding and points in the paint
