Las Vegas vs Indiana Game 4 Preview

The Aces had a chance to close out this semifinal series on the road. However, the short-handed Fever responded with an impressive 90-83 win on Sunday to force a winner-take-all Game 5 back in Las Vegas.

The Aces trailed 46-38 at the break. Although the game remained competitive in the second half, Indiana never trailed after intermission. And despite missing four key starters, Indiana is now one win away from its first WNBA Finals appearance in 10 seasons.

A’ja Wilson led Las Vegas with 31 points, nine rebounds, four steals, three assists, and three blocks. Jackie Young added 18 points, nine assists, and five rebounds.

On the other side, Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston did most of the heavy lifting for the Fever. Mitchell put up a team-high 25 points, along with four assists and three rebounds. Boston finished with 24 points, 14 rebounds, five assists, and two steals.

Can Indiana do the unthinkable again, or will Las Vegas respond with a victory on its home floor?
