  "account": "Jason Whitlock explained to X/Twitter why the Indiana Fever lost their matchup against the Las Vegas Aces. He attributed the defeat to both star players, Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell, having off shooting nights. Despite their strong performances throughout the season, Clark shot poorly on the night with a 6-18 field goal percentage and Mitchell went 7-23. Indiana Fever still played well, but the two stars missed shots they had made all year long, which was the \"entire explanation\" for their loss.",
  "summary": "The Indiana Fever’s postseason came to an end earlier this week after losing a second game against the Las Vegas Aces. Indiana shone in the game prior, which included Caitlin Clark setting a WNBA record after she scored 27 and assisted 15.",
