Aces can’t handle the heat; fall to Clark and Fever in blowout fashion

Las Vegas Aces fell to the Indiana Fever 109‑75 in a lopsided loss at Michelob Ultra Arena on July 12, 2026, unable to capitalize on home‑court advantage despite the presence of star guard Caitlin Clark in town. Fever guard Kelsey Mitchell, who entered the game ranked second in the WNBA for scoring, erupted for a game‑high 27 points to power Indiana to the victory. The win marked Indiana’s third straight triumph over Las Vegas and its second consecutive road victory in the series, breaking a stretch in which the Fever had gone winless in their first 12 trips to Las Vegas dating back to 2018. A’ja Wilson, who came into the contest leading the league in scoring after back‑to‑back double‑double outings, finished with a team‑high 20 points and 12 rebounds for the Aces. The performance also pushed Wilson into 14th place on the WNBA’s all‑time scoring list, raising her career total to 2,281 points in her ninth season. Wilson is a four‑time MVP.
