Indiana Fever Faces Defending Champs Las Vegas Aces in West-Coast Showdown

The Indiana Fever is set to take on the reigning WNBA champions, the Las Vegas Aces, in a highly anticipated matchup at Michelob ULTRA Arena. The Fever, coming off their first victory of the season against the Los Angeles Sparks, will face a tough challenge against the Aces.

Last night’s game saw standout performances from Kelsey Mitchell, Temi Fagbenle, Aliyah Boston, and Caitlin Clark, as the Fever staged a second-half comeback to secure the win. Mitchell’s 18 points, combined with Fagbenle and Boston’s strong play in the paint, propelled Indiana to victory.

The last meeting between the Fever and Aces ended in a Las Vegas victory, with Chelsea Gray and A'ja Wilson leading the charge for the Aces. Erica Wheeler and Aliyah Boston put up solid numbers for Indiana in that game, setting the stage for a rematch in the upcoming showdown.

Meanwhile, the Aces are coming off a tough loss to the Phoenix Mercury, where Kahleah Copper dominated with a 37-point performance. Kelsey Plum and Jackie Young also showcased their skills, along with A’ja Wilson’s impressive double-double.

Noteworthy in this game is the matchup between the two 2024 WNBA draft picks from the University of Iowa, Caitlin Clark and Kate Martin. Former teammates at Iowa, Clark and Martin will now face off on opposing teams, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the contest.
