The Indiana Fever have won their second straight game and are now 7-3 over their last 10 outings after defeating the Las Vegas Aces on Sunday, 84-68.
Even without the injured Caitlin Clark (back), the Fever comfortably handled the Aces, who were also missing A'ja Wilson (ankle). Kelsey Mitchell led the way for Indiana with 27 points on 7-of-18 shooting.

Aliyah Boston added a double-double of 18 points and 10 rebounds, along with two blocks, as the Fever led by as many as 18 points.
Indiana took care of the ball well in the game, committing a season-low seven turnovers. The Fever also stepped up defensively, limiting the Aces to 4-of-19 shooting from 3-point range. Furthermore, they forced 13 turnovers against the home team, scoring 13 points off those mistakes.
No one on the Aces reached 20 points, with Jackie Young leading the team with 15. Jewell Loyd added 12 points, while Chelsea Gray scored just 10.

Making the win even more remarkable for the Fever is the fact that it was the first time they beat the Aces in Las Vegas . Prior to Sunday's game, Indiana was 0-11 against the Aces on the road in the regular season, according to Bleacher Report.
The Aces moved to Las Vegas in 2018 and had simply been dominant against the Fever at home ever since.
The Fever and the Aces will meet once again in Las Vegas on July 12. Sure enough, it will be interesting to see whether Indiana can get another road win against the defending WNBA champions.
