Las Vegas Aces Rally Past Indiana Fever Extending Dominance

The Indiana Fever and Las Vegas Aces, both struggling teams this season, faced off with the Fever falling 89-81 despite an early double-digit lead and tying the game late in the fourth quarter. Fever star Caitlin Clark has had recent offensive struggles, shooting poorly from the field and three-point line, though she remains a key player the Aces plan to physically challenge, according to coach Becky Hammon. The Aces, with a 5-7 record, have wrestled with consistency issues and are eager to improve after a series of losses, including recent defeats following A'ja Wilson's return from a concussion. Both teams have shown offensive capabilities but have also faltered defensively in recent games, with Indiana allowing fewer points per game on average but Las Vegas struggling more with points allowed. The matchup highlighted both teams' efforts to rebound from recent setbacks as they continue to compete in a tightly contested season. Coaches and players on both sides acknowledge the need for toughness and consistency to change their fortunes moving forward.
