The Indiana Fever, despite missing Caitlin Clark due to injury, achieved a commanding 81-54 victory over the Las Vegas Aces last Thursday. Aces coach Becky Hammon expressed her discontent, labeling the performance as ’three quarters of trash’ and criticized her squad for their lack of effort. She remarked on the lack of professionalism demonstrated, stating, ’they played harder in yesterday’s practice.’ The Fever managed to secure a commanding lead early on, halting a 16-game losing streak against the Aces and dominated throughout the game. Hammon elaborated on the game, mentioning, ‘It is the worst offensive night I’ve ever seen.’ A’ja Wilson was the sole standout for the Aces, scoring 29 points, with no other players contributing significantly. The Aces’ poor shooting performance, combined with being out-rebounded 37-26 by the Fever, marked a disastrous evening for Hammon’s team, now with a record of 8-9 for the season.
