In a loss to the Las Vegas Aces in a playoff series first-round Game 1, Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark criticized her team's defense and offensive performance. The Fever were outmatched by A’ja Wilson, who dominated the game with 38 points, 16 rebounds, two steals, and four blocks. Clark lamented their sloppiness, saying, "They’re good defenders, but at the same time, we made it hard on ourselves too.
Our actions were sloppy. I thought what we were running just wasn’t great, and just nobody got an easy or open look." Despite finishing with 15 points on 6-of-17 shooting, Clark had three rebounds, 10 assists, and six turnovers. The Aces, shooting 59% from the floor and leading by as much as 27 points, won the game 102-85. This was the first time the Fever allowed 100 points in seven games.
Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston also contributed for the Fever, while the Aces dominated the offensive and defensive aspects of the game. Game 2 is scheduled for Tuesday.
