The Indiana Fever secured a milestone 84-68 victory over the Las Vegas Aces on Sunday night, marking their first-ever franchise win against the Aces in Las Vegas.
The highly anticipated matchup lacked its usual generational marquee billing, as both teams played short-handed. Indiana’s electric guard Caitlin Clark was sidelined for her third consecutive game while recovering from a back injury. Meanwhile, Las Vegas was forced to operate without their anchor and four-time league MVP, A’ja Wilson, who missed her third straight game due to an ankle injury.

Despite the missing star power, the Fever capitalized on a dominant second-half surge. The undisputed top performer of the night was Indiana guard Kelsey Mitchell. Celebrating her recent All-Star starter selection, Mitchell put on a masterclass by scoring a game-high 27 points, converting 10-of-12 free throws, and hitting timely buckets whenever Las Vegas threatened. She was supported by Aliyah Boston, who dominated the interior with 18 points and 10 rebounds. Jackie Young led the struggling Aces with 15 points, but Las Vegas simply could not find their rhythm, collapsing to their lowest-scoring output of the season.
