Indiana Fever vs Las Vegas Aces: Game recap

Shey Peddy powered the Fever’s offense in the opening frame, and although the Aces put together a 10-1 surge during the quarter, her seven points off the bench helped Indiana close the period knotted at 23.

In the second quarter, the Aces started to find their rhythm, but the Fever stayed in striking distance. A’ja Wilson, Chelsea Gray and Jackie Young scored key baskets, yet Kelsey Mitchell, Aliyah Boston and Odyssey Sims provided the answers for Indiana, keeping the contest tight, with the Aces leading just 47-45 at the half.

The third quarter was plagued by injuries, with Chelsea Gray experiencing an ankle tweak but eventually returning, while Kelsey Mitchell of the Fever left the game due to cramping and being unable to bear weight on her leg.

The Aces capitalized on the situation, outscoring the Fever by six in the quarter and holding off a comeback attempt to lead 71-63 heading into the fourth.

In the fourth quarter, the Fever showed resilience, outscoring the Aces 23-15 with Sims leading the way, capped by a bucket from Sims and defensive stops that forced overtime despite Boston fouling out.

In overtime, a flurry of 3-pointers gave the Aces the upper hand, as Chelsea Gray and Jewell Loyd hit clutch shots to fend off the Fever.

While Indiana made some late baskets, the Aces, led by their guards, pulled away and outscored the Fever 21-12 in the extra period to secure the win.
