Indiana Fever are seeing a pretty tough opponent in the Las Vegas Aces, as both teams battle it out to score a post in the finals to win the WNBA championship. The Fever managed to win Game 1 but ended up losing Game 2 and that too, with quite a large margin.
According to analysts who are keeping close tabs on the team, Indiana’s strongest scorer, Kelsey Mitchell, is facing personal attacks from the Aces. This has limited the team’s offense which led to the Fever losing with an embarrassing 90-68 final score. Mitchell only managed 13 points in Game 2, with a single board and five helpers. Meanwhile, Odyssey Sims led the team’s offense with 18 points on the scoreboard with seven assists.
“If the Aces can swarm Kelsey Mitchell and get the ball out of her hands the Fever don’t have enough firepower to keep up,” WNBA analyst Robin Lundberg tweeted from his X account about the Las Vegas Aces and Kelsey Mitchell.
“Didn’t get to zoom questions tonight so I didn’t get to ask about it, but it felt like Vegas was more intentional about forcing Kelsey Mitchell ball screens down the sideline tonight compared to game 1. Looking it up: Mitchell saw “ICE” coverage 5 times in G1, 10 times in G2.” Analyst Nekias Duncan echoed in another tweet on X.
