The Indiana Fever have shocked much of the basketball world by advancing to the WNBA semifinals despite losing five players to season-ending injuries including All-Star guard Caitlin Clark.
The Fever took it a step further by beating the Las Vegas Aces in Game 1 of the series Sunday.
But, in Game 2 Tuesday, the Aces and four-time MVP A’ja Wilson rose up. They turned up the defensive heat in a 90-68 victory to even the best-of-five semifinal series as it heads to Indianapolis on Friday, Sept. 26.
Wilson finished with 25 points, nine rebounds, five steals and two blocks in 33 minutes. The Aces improved to 11-0 in the postseason when Wilson scores 25 or more points. She’s the fourth player in WNBA playoff history with 25 or more points and five or more steals in a game.
‘They’ve been world champions for a reason,’ Fever coach Stephanie White said. ‘They have a mentality they know exactly how to compete at this stage and this level. We’ve got to be able to respond, and we’ve got to be able to rise to that challenge.”
Game 3 will give the Fever that chance.
