The Indiana Fever dismantled the Las Vegas Aces 109-75 on Sunday night at Michelob ULTRA Arena. Fueled by a relentless offensive barrage, Indiana led wire-to-wire to secure their most decisive victory of the 2026 season.
Kelsey Mitchell spearheaded the rout with a game-high 27 points. Sophie Cunningham provided a lethal spark off the bench with 20 points on near-perfect three-point shooting. The highly anticipated reunion between Caitlin Clark and A’ja Wilson delivered on the hype. But it was Indiana’s supporting cast that ultimately overwhelmed a visibly exhausted Las Vegas squad.
Returning to the hardwood after missing previous action with a lingering back injury, Clark operated on a strict minutes restriction. The rookie still managed an efficient 12 points, seven rebounds, and six assists. On the other end, Wilson anchored Las Vegas with a hard-fought 20 points, 12 rebounds, and two blocks.
Indiana seized control immediately, pouring in 31 points in the opening quarter. Aliyah Boston dominated the paint with a 19-point, 11-rebound double-double. They took a commanding 59-48 lead into the locker room, tying their highest-scoring first half of the year. The Fever shot 56 percent from the floor and 48 percent from beyond the arc. They sank 15 three-pointers in total while holding the Aces to just 39 percent shooting.
The blowout was heavily influenced by a grueling schedule. The Aces were playing on a difficult back-to-back, having just demolished the Phoenix Mercury 106-58 on Saturday night. Prior to tipoff, Las Vegas head coach Becky Hammon explicitly warned that her team’s energy level would be her biggest concern. That fear quickly materialized as the Aces struggled against the Fever’s transition speed.
Amid the offensive clinic, Mitchell etched her name into the WNBA record books. She became only the fifth player in league history to score at least 25 points in six consecutive games. She joins an elite club that includes Wilson, Tina Charles, Arike Ogunbowale, and Maya Moore. The historic performance, which shifted the league standings, also marked Mitchell’s 39th straight game scoring in double figures.
For Las Vegas, the 34-point defeat carries immediate playoff implications. The defending champions fell to 17-7. That drops them a critical half-game behind the WNBA-leading Minnesota Lynx and forces a second-place tie with the Golden State Valkyries. Chelsea Gray added 15 points for the Aces. And starting guard Jackie Young was completely neutralized, finishing with just eight points.
