Sophie Cunningham reaction follows Olivia Miles' A'ja Wilson drive
sophie cunningham was part of the conversation after Chennedy Carter reacted on camera to Olivia Miles driving past A'ja Wilson in the fourth quarter on Saturday, June 13. The play came in a game the Minnesota Lynx did not win against the Las Vegas Aces.
Miles has pushed that attention with 18.6 points, 5.1 rebounds and 5.9 assists in 30.9 minutes this season. She has 242 points so far, and her pace has her on track to challenge 800 before the schedule ends.
Olivia Miles attacks A'ja Wilson
Saturday brought two hard drives from Miles against Wilson, and both finished with made shots. The fourth-quarter sequence was the one that lingered, because she got to the basket, slipped away from Wilson and forced Carter’s reaction on the bench.
That reaction mattered because it fit the way opponents are starting to treat Miles. A rookie who is already handling this much volume does not usually draw this kind of on-camera response after a single possession, especially when the possession comes against a player of Wilson’s stature.
Chennedy Carter reacts on camera
The camera caught Carter opening her mouth and turning her head toward her teammates after Miles beat Wilson on the drive. The moment was brief, but it tracked with the same theme that has followed Miles all season: she is not being treated like a quiet newcomer.
Miles’ line gives that reaction more weight. She is averaging 18.6 points, 5.1 rebounds and 5.9 assists, and her scoring total has climbed to 242 points. That production has put her in the discussion for Rookie of the Year and has even brought her name into MVP talk.
Caitlin Clark's 2024 mark
The pace becomes sharper when compared with Caitlin Clark’s rookie season in 2024, when Clark scored 769 points. Miles is doing it while playing four more games than Clark did that year, which leaves her with a different route but the same kind of attention.
For the Lynx, the immediate result is simple: they left home without a win against the Aces, while Miles added another clip that will keep her season under a brighter light. For everyone watching the rookie race, the next possession against a top defender now carries the same question Miles keeps answering with the ball in her hands.
