Caitlin Clark's historic performance propels Fever past Aces in Game 2, sets up decisive Game 3 in Las Vegas

Clark became the first player in WNBA history with a 25-point, 15-assist game Sep 29, 2026 at 9:00 pm ET • 1 min read The Caitlin Clark experience was on full display on Tuesday as the league's most unique player led the Indiana Fever to a season-saving win over the reigning champion Las Vegas Aces, 99-89, in Game 2 of their best-of-three first-round series. A winner-take-all Game 3 is set for Las Vegas on Thursday. Clark, who fouled out with 2:45 remaining, received a technical foul and had a handful of head-scratching possessions on both ends of the floor, finished with 27 points, 15 assists and seven rebounds on 9 of 18 from the field, including 5 of 11 from 3-point range in one of the most memorable playoff performances ever. Clark set new playoff career-highs in points, rebounds, assists and 3s, and became the first player in WNBA history with a 25-point, 15-assist game. Between her own baskets and assists, she was directly responsible for 24 of the Fever's 37 field goals and 58 points, which is tied for the most points created in a playoff game. Her 15 assists also tied for the third-most in a playoff game in WNBA history. Kelsey Mitchell added 26 points, while Aliyah Boston put up 22 points, four rebounds and five assists, as the Fever's Big Three combined for 75 of the Fever's 99 points. After Clark fouled out and the Aces cut the Fever's lead to five, 92-87, with 2:11 to play, Boston responded with a tough bucket on the other end before Mitchell put the game away at the free-throw line. On the other side, Jackie Young led all scorers with 31, while four-time MVP A'ja Wilson added 22 points and nine rebounds. But offense was much harder to come by for the Aces after they dropped 102 points in a blowout victory in Game 1.
