A Heartbreaking End to the Fever’s Season
Alex Golden and Casey Johnson recap a heartbreaking end to the Indiana Fever's season after they fall on the road to the Las Vegas Aces in Game 3.
Indiana had multiple opportunities to tie the game and potentially take the lead, but when the Fever desperately needed a big shot, they couldn't find one.
Alex and Casey discuss how the Aces' defense consistently put Indiana in difficult situations, forcing tough looks and making every possession feel increasingly important as the game progressed.
One of the biggest differences came at the free-throw line. Las Vegas attempted 35 free throws compared to Indiana's 20, an enormous disparity in a game the Fever ultimately lost by 11 points.
The guys also dive into the difficult shooting performances from Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell, who combined to shoot just 13-of-41 from the floor. What did Las Vegas do defensively to make life so difficult for Indiana's backcourt, and where did the Fever miss opportunities to capitalize?
On the positive side, Aliyah Bost
