What transpired was the complete opposite as the Fever played an incredible game of basketball and won all four quarters. Coach White’s defensive plan proved to be a masterstroke as the Fever forced Wilson to miss 16 shots on the night. While MVP Wilson struggled, Kelsey Mitchell rose to the occasion and led Indiana to a famous victory with a 34-point performance.

The Fever landed the first punch and now they can expect the Aces to respond with full force. Las Vegas cannot afford to lose two consecutive games on their home floor and fall behind 0-2. One can expect Wilson and her teammates to throw the kitchen sink at Indiana in Game 2, slated for Tuesday.
