Las Vegas beat Indiana 105-82 in their playoff opener, leaving the Fever needing two straight wins over the Aces to reach the second round. A spectator's video appeared to show Caitlin Clark mouthing “shut up” at a heckling fan; what the fan said is unclear.
Clark finished with 15 points on 6-of-17 shooting, 10 assists and six turnovers. Kelsey Mitchell scored 12 for Indiana, while injured Aliyah Boston had 18. A'ja Wilson led Las Vegas with 38 points and 16 rebounds; Jackie Young added 21 points and 10 assists, and Chelsea Gray had 14 points and eight assists.
