Indiana evened the best-of-three series with a 99-89 victory over Las Vegas in Game 2, according to a game recap posted by wnba.com. Caitlin Clark scored 27 points and dished 15 assists (including 14 points and 11 assists in the first half), becoming the first player in league history to record a points-assists double-double in the first half of a playoff game. Jackie Young scored 31 for the Aces and Kelsey Mitchell had 26 for Indiana.
A fourth-quarter incident involving A'ja Wilson and a fan occurred with 4:10 remaining while Las Vegas trailed 90-79; Wilson walked toward the seats and was separated by teammates, an assistant coach and security, and was assessed a technical foul for stepping off the court but was not ejected. The recap says the man was escorted out by security and later allowed to return because the Fever determined he did not violate the fan code of conduct. A rematch in Las Vegas will be played Thursday, with the winner advancing to the league’s semifinal round.
