The loss amplified a lack of late-game resolve that had plagued the Fever even after Clark's return. Indiana was talented, no doubt, but it struggled to maintain leads and weather adversity in crunch time. Losing Clark again and losing to the Sparks in the same day cemented that this Fever team just couldn't catch a break.

Veteran guard Kelsey Mitchell poured in 25 points, while second-year forward Aliyah Boston added 20 points and seven rebounds to fuel Indiana’s dominant home win. Beyond the box score, the victory snapped a 16-game losing streak against Las Vegas, marking the first time the Fever have beaten the Aces since 2019.
