Indiana Fever Upset Las Vegas Aces in WNBA Semifinal Game 1

The Indiana Fever stunned the Las Vegas Aces with an 89-73 victory in Game 1 of the WNBA semifinals, highlighted by Kelsey Mitchell's playoff-career high 34 points, including four three-pointers. The Fever's aggressive defense and pace disrupted the Aces, who were held to just 40.8% shooting, while Indiana shot 50% from the field and excelled in key statistics like rebounds and assists. Despite A’ja Wilson's double-double and her recent achievement as the WNBA's first four-time MVP, she struggled with shooting efficiency, managing only 27.3%. Indiana's coach Stephanie White praised the team's defensive attention and Mitchell's speed and effort throughout the game. This win marks a significant momentum shift as the Fever, plagued by injuries, showed resilience and poise on the road, while the Aces, previously dominant at home, face a tough challenge to regroup.
