On Sunday, the Indiana Fever secured a significant 84-68 victory over the Las Vegas Aces, marking the franchise’s first regular-season win on the road in Las Vegas. This achievement was especially notable as the Fever managed it without their star guard Caitlin Clark, who missed her third consecutive game due to a back injury.
The Aces also faced their own setbacks, with four-time MVP A’ja Wilson sidelined for the third straight game because of an ankle injury. Despite the absence of these key players, the Fever quickly established their tempo and maintained control throughout the contest, improving their record to 12-8.
Kelsey Mitchell, Aliyah Boston, and Fever Roster Step Up Against Aces
Filling the void left by Clark, guard Kelsey Mitchell spearheaded Indiana’s offense with an impressive 27 points. She shot 7-of-18 from the field and was nearly perfect from the free-throw line, converting 10-of-12 attempts.
Complementing Mitchell’s effort was Aliyah Boston, who recorded her sixth double-double of the season by contributing 18 points and 10 rebounds. Boston’s performance included three successful three-pointers, highlighted by a standout spin move around Brianna Turner in the second quarter—a play that quickly gained viral attention.

The Aces struggled offensively, shooting just 21% from beyond the arc, which contributed to their lowest scoring output of the season.
