How the game played out

After a fast first quarter, the night tilted toward the Aces at the line. Chelsea Gray added 23 for Vegas. Indiana won the offensive glass 9-2 and the paint 36-22, but cold three-point shooting kept the Fever chasing. Aliyah Boston scored 19 and Myisha Hines-Allen added 12 points and 12 rebounds off the bench.

Trends to watch

• Young's workload: She played all 40 minutes and filled every column.
• Free throw volume: Vegas went to the line 35 times, and Wilson's 15 attempts give her scoring a floor.
• Indiana's three-point volume: The Fever took 32 threes, so Mitchell's made-threes props stay live even on a cold night.
