Indiana's first-round win was unexpected as the team was missing five key players: Caitlin Clark, Aari McDonald, Sophie Cunningham, Sydney Colson and Chloe Bibby. Additionally, the Fever already trailed in the best-of-three series after losing Game 1.

However, the team fought back with a 77-60 victory in Game 2 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. They carried the momentum into Atlanta, securing the deciding win to advance.

Stephanie White's team holds a 1-0 lead in their semifinal against the Las Vegas Aces, winning 89-73 in Game 1 on Sunday.

Kelsey Mitchell explains how Caitlin Clark gave different opportunities to Fever teammates

Caitlin Clark’s arrival has been a game changer, not only for the Indiana Fever organization, but also for her teammates. Kelsey Mitchell recently opened up about how much she values Clark as a player and as a friend she has grown close to.

“(Caitlin) changed the world, changed the dynamic of basketball,” Mitchell said on Monday, via ESPN's "NBA Today." “And as a friend, and as a player, you've got to appreciate her, because certain doors have opened because she has come to the Fever.

"You have to respect that, and I love the teammate and person in her, because she has accepted it with so much grace, and even welcomed us with open arms to make this thing happen.”

Mitchell has stepped up in Clark's absence. She has become Indiana's leading scorer in the playoffs, averaging 26.0 points per game. With Game 2 of the semifinals set for Tuesday, Mitchell will once again be relied upon to help push the franchise to a 2-0 lead.
