The Las Vegas Aces suffered a significant defeat to the Indiana Fever, with a score of 81-54. Coach Becky Hammon expressed her frustration, stating it was among the worst games she has seen. The Fever ended a 16-game losing streak against the Aces, despite missing key player Caitlin Clark. Kelsey Mitchell led the Fever with 25 points while the Aces shot poorly at 26.2%, with A'ja Wilson being the only player in double digits. Hammon criticized the team's professionalism and defense, citing a lack of effort and focus throughout the game.
That's a complete lack of professionalism to come here with that effort. They played better yesterday in practice by a lot. I don't know how you step onto the floor with 20,000 people in the stands and perform like that. It is the worst offensive night I've ever seen [since] I've been here in the last four years.
They were in the paint [getting] downhill layups all night. The effort and the focus just were not there. I thought they were grabbing and holding us, so it's a rugby match. My team doesn't want to play rugby, so we get our ass kicked.
