A'ja Wilson and Tiffany Hayes postgame | Las Vegas Aces defeat Atlanta Dream 83-72 | Aug. 30

rad Milligan rolling out good question ask R question hey R we are recording first question right here hey Asia from lingo dice City Sports it seems like you took a pretty hard fall there in the third quarter just wondering how are you physically feeling and did you feel like it had an effect on your game throughout the rest no it didn't affect me at all it's a part of the game um I feel good I feel great actually uh we had a good couple days of just resting back at home sleeping in my own bed is always good um so yeah I feel good uh right now is a time where even if I felt bad no one would care so uh why not feel good so yeah my my team ried around me and I'm just excited that we got the win question for both of you congratulations on uh clinching a a playoff birth once again uh what was that moment like to kind of see it on the screen at the very end and hear the the crowd chanting as as you CL that bir oh I didn't see it on the screen I just heard we just heard when we were walking into the locker room uh that we quenched um and that's a big deal for us obviously with the season that we're having now we we always love some good news uh but the job's not done uh but it is good to kind of have that not decompressed moment but just the moment of like okay no now we know at least we're there uh so step by step uh we're gonna get there so yeah it's been a good moment uh for Tiffany um your first this is your first double over here this was your first double double since 2018 um you know start tonight um you know doing it against your former team as well I me you talk about the moment here and you just know everything I really went through in the final result and just you just the moment how it feels it just felt good to get a win first of all um and then not g lie I was excited for the double double um it's really hard to come by like you said it's 2018 but uh just doing it here with this new team that I'm on and in that game you already said specifics of you know who we were playing uh it just feels good and to get it in this way with my team rallying around me and showing me the love that they show me it felt really good um Asia 26 points and 15 rebounds I think a lot of people have inserts in meeting into you showing up to games in a white T-shirt is that something that you're going to continue or is there something that would I guess make you want to change that going forward um I have to want to put on clothes and right now where I am I don't feel like it I don't I don't feel like I deserve to put home clothes uh that just adds stress to my life even though I have a lovely stylist M who does her thing 100% I know she's like Asia put on these damn clothes uh but right now my main focus is just getting wins and putting them together and stringing them together so if we start getting a couple WIS in our belt I might little pop out little show a little something but right now I am digging in the bottom of of my t-shirt door and I'm putting on a shirt and I'm dipping out but that's pretty much it I'm really just not in the whole tunnel walks right now it's my life thank you but my mom is getting mad at me because they're not iron but who Iron name white teeth period shout out to them franchise boyss uh not the best shooting night obviously for KP tonight but it seems like all of her field goal kind of came in clutch moments how does it how does it kind of bring into words how valuable she is to this team she always kind of finds her in those big spots for this group I mean I think everybody knows kp's value to this team very important she's been in this franchise for years bringing her everything and she she struggled tonight but at the end of the day like you said when we needed a bucket she was there to give it to us and the whole night she stayed true to who she was and making sure that she didn't get down that she wasn't making her shots she stayed with it and she came through in the clutch for us so that just shows her growth and it shows that she's trying to move in the right dire for Asia talking about you know clinching the playoff spot here uh this win uh going forward into this race to the postseason does the pressure come off a little does it go on a little bit more I guess does it stay the same I'm just assessing that oh yeah pressure going off be around us uh we're the defending champs uh everyone wants to see what we're going to do some people want us to fail some people want us to succeed so the pressure is going to always be there but within our locker room we lean on each other now more than ever this is the time where you have to lock in to one another uh whether that's ingame adjustments or just talks amongst your teammates off the court like these are the moments that you need to Value the most because it's go time like end of September is it's it's rocking and rolling time so the pressure could be there the outside noise is going to always be there but I'm going make sure that on my half what I can do for my team is make sure that we are always close in and what we do and understand that we have more than enough in the locker room to take care of business when the time when the time comes so that's going to be my main thing throughout the rest of this well season and then postseason and then we see what happens going jump to zoom really quick uh go Asia Asia and then n hi ladies uh congratulations on the win tonight um I noticed that Wilson you had 26 points Hayes 20 points uh Plum 18 points you guys had a much better performance than the last two games uh but what would you say was the toughest thing to be able to try and stop gray and Howard tonight because they they were putting on some pressure for you guys tonight as well uh Lee and Ryan they they're some of the best guards and I'm not just saying this because they're my friends but they're some of the best guards in this league and so it's always great when we could just make it hard for them because they're great players so they're going to make tough shots they're going to make their shots they're going to get to their spots but if we can slow them down just a little bit uh we can count that as a win so I I think we did a pretty decent job on them uh tonight but at the same time like sometimes you got to pick your battles and you live what you live with but I think we did a pretty decent job on them today considering that they're pretty good at getting to their spots M and then we will let the players go hey y'all congrats on the win uh for you Asia you've talked a lot about how important the defense is for you guys how important communication is um a lot of switching on and off the ball for y'all tonight uh just from from your view how did you feel the defense was tonight um okay 72 points is pretty good so I feel like we're pretty good on the defensive end um yeah we held him to 20 our third quarters are a little shaky and we kind of held him to 20 in the third quarter so that's pretty that's pretty good but we still have work to do we're not perfect um but at the same time I'm very pleased that our defensive uh mindset today and we're just going to keep growing uh keep what Becky always says put bottle it up and open it when we need it and that's going to be the next game so I think on the defensive man we pretty we did a decent job thank you yeah see I didn't get to hear any TI comments no don't worry about it she talk about her double double next time H that knee up ier migan rolling out it's a good question Brandon you want one quick question ask M question okayy m
