"I feel like in that moment, if a coach has to tell you what to do, I'm not doing my job, Wilson said. (Hammon) just drew up a play it wasn't even really a play it was pretty much what you saw. I'm appreciative that Becky trusts me in those moments. That's playoff basketball. Those are the moments that you root for."
"Las Vegas had what looked like a comfortable 76-59 lead entering the fourth quarter, but the Mercury closed the gap to 84-83 with 3:06 left on Kahleah Copper's 3-pointer. DeWanna Bonner tied the game at 86-all on a 3-pointer with 1:33 left and made two free throws with 1:01 left to tie it at 88. That set up Wilson's heroics in the final seconds."
