Indiana Fever defeat defeat the Las Vegas Aces behind Aliyah Boston’s monster game (90 – 83)

September 29, 2025

After losing Game 3, the Indiana Fever bounced back to defeat the Las Vegas Aces and force a winner-take-all Game 5 of the 2025 WNBA Semis.

Kelsey Mitchell led the Fever with 25 points, on the other hand, Aliyah Boston had a monster game of 24 points, 14 rebounds, and 5 assists, along with 2 blocks and 2 steals, despite guarding A’ja Wilson for the entirety of the game. Odyssey Sims was a big factor with 18 points. Lexie Hull despite scoring only 7 points, she was the engine that powered the Fever’s defense, Hull grabbed 7 rebounds, with 4 steals and 1 block.

The Indiana Fever won the game even though the Aces got a big performance from 4-time MVP A’ja Wilson. She scored 31 points and 9 rebounds and was also a force on the defensive end with 4 steals and 3 blocks. Jackie Young added 18 points, 5 rebounds, and 9 assists. Aside from Wilson and Young, the rest of the Aces were a non-factor. The team even committed a technical foul when Head Coach Becky Hammon mistakenly called an extra timeout with 30.1 seconds left in the game. This mistake cost the Aces possession, and the Fever were able to capitalize by making the technical free throw and the two free throws by Odyssey Sims when she was fouled by Chelsea Gray, creating a 10-point margin (87−77).

Game Highlights

The series will now move back to Las Vegas for the deciding Game 5 this Tuesday, Sept 30th. The pressure will now be on the Aces, considering they are the healthy team, with the reigning MVP A’ja Wilson, and are playing at home. The Indiana Fever, at this point, are already overachieving, with 5 players out due to season-ending injuries and with 2 players who were added only a month ago, simply by pushing the Aces to the brink of elimination.
