Megan Gustafson Reveals How the Aces Plan to Handle the Fever’s Fire and Keep Their Championship Energy Alive
As the Las Vegas Aces gear up for their second-round clash with the Indiana Fever, Megan Gustafson is stepping into the spotlight—not just for her performance on the court, but for her insight into what it takes to slow down one of the league’s fastest-paced teams.
“The key is composure,” Gustafson explained with calm confidence. “Indiana likes to push the tempo and thrive in transition, but if we control the boards and communicate on defense, we can set the pace our way.”
Coming off the bench, Gustafson has embraced her role as a spark plug—steady, focused, and ready to make an instant impact. “It’s about staying mentally ready.
You never know when your moment comes, but when it does, you bring energy and effort. That’s something our whole locker room believes in,” she said.
Speaking of the locker room, Gustafson lit up when describing the atmosphere inside the reigning champions’ camp. “It’s electric,” she smiled. “Everyone feeds off each other—there’s laughter, focus, and a sense that we’re building something special together.”
Off the court, one fan moment left a lasting impression on her: a young supporter holding a handmade sign that read, ‘Believe Like Megan.’ “That one hit me,” Gustafson admitted. “Moments like that remind you why you play the game.”
And when asked about A’ja Wilson taking home the MVP title, her face said it all before she even answered. “No one deserves it more. A’ja sets the tone for all of us—her leadership, her consistency, her love for the game—it’s inspiring. We all win when she wins.”
With energy high and belief running deep, the Aces head into their matchup with Indiana not just chasing another victory—but determined to prove that their dynasty is far from done.
