3-point shooting costly as Indiana Fever season ends in loss to Aces, A'ja Wilson

A'ja Wilson was strong again as the Aces beat the Fever in an elimination game with Caitlin Clark, Kelsey Mitchell struggling from 3-point range.

The Indiana Fever's playoff season concluded with a 94-83 defeat to the Las Vegas Aces in Game 3 of their first-round series. Caitlin Clark led the Fever with 18 points, while Kelsey Mitchell contributed 23 points. Aliyah Boston added 19 points, 10 rebounds, and three assists. Four-time MVP Ja Wilson recorded 36 points on 11-of-18 shooting and 10 rebounds.

The Fever's offensive struggles, particularly in the middle of the game, proved costly. Despite a strong first quarter, the Fever missed their next 10 shots, a drought that extended to halftime. The offense remained inconsistent throughout the series, ultimately leading to their loss. The offseason will bring significant changes as the Fever have four unrestricted free agents, including record-setting guard Mitchell.
