Indiana Fever Upset Four-Time MVP Aces With Mitchell's 34 Points in WNBA Semifinals Game 1

The Indiana Fever stunned the Las Vegas Aces with an 89-73 victory in Game 1 of the WNBA Semifinals, powered by Kelsey Mitchell's playoff career-high 34 points. Mitchell's performance, including efficient shooting and clutch scoring, was instrumental in leading the Fever despite the team facing multiple injuries, while Odyssey Sims and Natasha Howard also contributed significantly. The Fever's defense successfully limited newly crowned four-time MVP A'ja Wilson to 16 points on inefficient shooting, disrupting the Aces' offensive rhythm. Indiana maintained control with a critical 11-0 run late in the third quarter, holding a double-digit lead for much of the second half. This win gives the Fever home-court advantage in the series, shifting pressure onto the Aces to respond in the upcoming games. The series continues with Game 2 in Las Vegas, where the Aces will look to defend their home ground and keep their hopes for a repeat championship alive.
