Aces head coach Becky Hammon was incredulous her All-Star forward didn't win her second straight WNBA MVP award. She promptly sprang to A'ja Wilson's defense on Tuesday.

“A'ja was the most dominant player in the league this year, on the most dominant team, on the most dominant offense the league has ever seen with the No. 1 defense. I don't know what else the girl has to do,” Hammon quipped.

Wilson finished third in this year's WNBA MVP award behind Stewart and the Connecticut Sun's Alyssa Thomas. That is a travesty to Becky Hammon and the Aces' fan base. In fairness to Stewart and Thomas, they have carried their respective teams in their semifinals series.

As for A'ja Wilson, she will extend her scoring streak with the way she's been playing. Unless the Wings figure out a way to stop her, the Aces are in a good position to make their second straight WNBA Finals appearance.
