Overview
- Thursday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse the Las Vegas Aces rallied from a 20‑point first‑half deficit and beat the Indiana Fever 86-84 in overtime on two buzzer‑beating 3s by Chelsea Gray that stood after replay review.
- Caitlin Clark missed two free throws with seven seconds left in regulation and turned the ball over late in overtime; she called the errors her responsibility and finished with 20 points, eight assists and eight turnovers.
- Momentum swung after Indiana’s 24-4 second‑quarter run collapsed into a 15-0 Aces spurt before halftime and a larger 40-11 run that cost the Fever control, with Indiana committing 21–22 turnovers that gave Las Vegas extra possessions and points.
- Play was briefly halted in the third quarter for a courtside security incident that the Fever later said resulted in no Fan Code of Conduct violation and that the fan elected to leave after being spoken to by staff.
- The loss dropped Indiana to 19-12 while the Aces improved to 22-9, tightening seeding implications as the Fever head into a stretch of tough games and face pressure to fix turnovers, defensive detail and late‑game execution.
