Who won Las Vegas Aces vs Indiana Fever?
Indiana Fever beat Las Vegas Aces 90-83 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on September 28, 2025.
In a thrilling matchup at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, the Indiana Fever secured a 90-83 victory over the Las Vegas Aces. This win not only showcased the Fever's resilience but also marked a significant moment in their ongoing series against the Aces, with Indiana now leading the series 2-1 this season.
The Fever entered the game with a home record of 24-20, while the Aces boasted a stronger away record of 30-14. Indiana's recent form had been mixed, with a record of 6-4 in their last ten games and a current losing streak of two games. Their average scoring during this stretch was 81.4 points per game, while allowing 77.1 points. In contrast, the Aces were riding a wave of momentum with an 8-2 record in their last ten games, including a two-game winning streak, averaging 87.8 points scored and allowing 75.4 points.
The Fever's performance at home has been notably better than their away games, with a home record of 3-1 in their last four games. However, they faced the Aces just twice prior to this game, losing both encounters in the last week, with scores of 84-72 and 90-68. The Aces had previously dominated the series, winning seven of the last ten matchups.
In terms of injuries, the Aces were without Ta'Niya Latson due to a coach's decision and NaLyssa Smith, who was sidelined with a leg injury. The absence of these players likely impacted the Aces' performance, especially against a Fever team looking to capitalize on their home court advantage.
The market had priced the Fever's chances favorably, reflecting a home win probability of 1.0, indicating strong confidence in their ability to secure the victory. The conditions for the game were typical for a late September evening, with fans filling the arena to support their team.
As the game unfolded, the Fever demonstrated their ability to respond under pressure, particularly in the fourth quarter. Key moments included Kelsey Mitchell making crucial free throws to extend Indiana's lead and Chelsea Gray hitting significant three-pointers for the Aces, which kept the game competitive until the final moments. The Fever's ability to maintain composure and execute in critical situations ultimately led them to a hard-fought victory.
This matchup not only highlighted the Fever's potential but also set the stage for future encounters between these two teams as they continue their battle in the WNBA.
