Fever's Historic Performance
Indiana Fever Claims Historic Victory Over Aces, Clark Reaches 600 Assists Milestone
Anonymous
The Indiana Fever routed the Las Vegas Aces by 34 points, scoring 109 in a blowout that ranks as the second-largest victory in franchise history. Star-Telegram reported the win also set a new franchise record for points scored against the Aces since the team moved to Nevada.
The victory was packed with individual milestones. Kelsey Mitchell led all scorers with 27 points. Caitlin Clark, playing under a minutes restriction, still made history. And the Fever showed they are one of the hottest teams in the WNBA right now.
Mitchell Drops 27 in Sixth Straight Monster Game
Kelsey Mitchell was the engine of the blowout. She scored a game-high 27 points, making it her sixth straight game with at least 25 points. Sun Herald noted that Mitchell led the charge alongside Aliyah Boston and Sophie Cunningham, who also played key roles in the win.
The Fever's 109 points tied for the fifth-highest scoring total in franchise history. That kind of firepower is hard to stop. Indiana's offense clicked on all cylinders and made the Aces look helpless for long stretches of the game.
Caitlin Clark Hits 600 Assists Faster Than Anyone Ever
Even with a minutes restriction, Caitlin Clark made history. She became the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 600 career assists. She hit that mark in just 72 games, according to Bellingham Herald.
The game also marked Clark's 300th regular-season game. That is a career milestone on its own. But hitting 600 assists at the same time made Monday a doubly historic night for the Fever's star guard.
34-Point Margin Is Second Largest in Fever History
A 34-point win is rare in the WNBA. For Indiana, it is the second-largest margin of victory in the franchise's entire history. Tri-City Herald and Mod Bee both confirmed the historic scale of the blowout.
The win also broke a franchise record for points scored against Las Vegas specifically — since the Aces moved to Nevada. That means no Indiana team had ever put up 109 against the Aces on their home turf. Monday changed that.
Boston and Cunningham Round Out a Complete Team Effort
The win was not a one-woman show. Aliyah Boston and Sophie Cunningham both contributed alongside Mitchell and Clark. Macon.com noted the four players drove the Fever's historic performance together.
Indiana's depth and balance were on full display. The Fever spread the scoring, controlled the pace, and never let Las Vegas back in the game. With this kind of momentum, Indiana looks like a serious threat in the WNBA this season.
