A?Ja Wilson and the Aces won their second consecutive WNBA title this Wednesday, while the San Antonio Spurs registered a win against the Rockets with a score of 117-103.

Well, repeating the age-old episode of ejection, the coach was more excited about the WNBA game, setting the Spurs on autopilot with Devin Vassell scoring a whopping 25 points, 3 rebounds, and 1 assist.

With a 70-69 score, the Aces registered a ‘surviving‘ win over the New York Liberty. It must have been a whole new discussion if only half a second was left on the clock. However, the franchise has cemented its place as one of the mightiest teams in the WNBA.

No doubt, A?Ja Wilson has fans following around and getting tired of all the accolades she has amassed. A two-time champion, a finals MVP, a two-time WNBA MVP, and a five-time All-Star through just six seasons, and much more to come. With this win, even Gregg Popovich was considering the possibility of being ejected once more midway through the game, just to witness the final sweep.

Popovich wanted to celebrate this second consecutive WNBA title under Becky Hammon, who was a Spurs assistant from 2014?22, and he made the media rush with the question.

He said: ?Ask them quick, I don?t have a whole lot of time.? He continued: ?I gotta go celebrate, Becky Hammon and the Aces.??

Well, the excitement went to the point where Gregg was considering the possibility of even getting booted. Not his first time indeed, with the fastest record of 63 seconds.

The Ejection Record and Further Plans for the Spurs

The 2019 NBA season witnessed a new record set, as Coach Pop registered the quickest-ever ejection in a game when he was tossed 63 seconds in Spurs vs. Nuggets. A scuffle with referee Mark Ayotte during the timeout, hence the ejection after picking out two technical fouls.

This is not his first ejection or a moment where the team had to bear the consequences because the coach was livid about a foul. Beginning with an outburst against the Raptors in 2007, the Timberwolves in 2010, and in 2017 against the Pelicans, he has learned to play with this scenario now.

Joking about getting booted to watch Becky Hammon and the win says a lot about the seriousness of the situation. However, with Spurs vs. Warriors tonight, what will be the first-hand approach of the coach?
