Rebounding and free-throw shooting made the difference in this matchup. The Fever was physical on the glass as they secured 34 rebounds while making 26 shots at the line. It wasn't the same for the Aces, who grabbed 22 rebounds and only converted eight shots at the charity stripe.
Three players scored in double-digits on Indiana's behalf. Kelsey Mitchell led the way with 25 points, four assists and three rebounds. She shot 9-of-20 from the field, including 2-of-5 from beyond the arc, and 5-of-6 from the free-throw line. Aliyah Boston came next with 24 points and 14 rebounds, Odyssey Sims had 18 points and two assists, while Lexie Hull provided seven points and seven rebounds.
The Fever will fight to keep their season alive when they face the Aces in the series-deciding Game 5. The contest will take place on Sept. 30 at 9:30 p.m. ET.
