During a recent appearance on Show Me Something podcast, Sophie Cunningham spoke about the playoff between Indiana Fever and Las Vegas Aces. The talented rookie even laid out the possible fear-factor for Fever. She said, “Their best player, A’ja… One of our best players is [Aliyah Boston]… They’ll be guarding each other. And I think that’s what makes it so cool. Both are healthy, and the key to really stopping them is stopping A’ja.”
Cunningham further elaborated,“I think the matchup between AB and A’ja was huge. Huge, huge. So we’ve still got to key in on that. But honestly, we are just a completely different team, and so are they… Their momentum and the way they’re playing is different from when we played them. And then our roster is completely, completely different. I think the key matchup right there is AB and A’ja, and it has always been a freakin’ battle. They go at it. It’s gonna be fun.”Sophie Cunningham even showed her confidence in the Fever’s chances against the Aces, saying the team thrives as underdogs with nothing to lose, while all the pressure rests on their A’ja Wilson and co.
