Sunday’s Game 4 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse (3 p.m. ET on ABC) has become a must-win "Red Out" for the Indiana Fever.
After falling 84–72 in Game 3 on Friday, the Fever trail the Las Vegas Aces 2–1 in their best-of-five semifinal series and must stave off elimination to force a deciding Game 5.
Indiana secured a spot in the playoffs and upset the No. 3 Atlanta Dream in the first round, despite suffering an astounding number of injuries during the regular season.
Star guard Caitlin Clark was ruled out for the season with a groin injury, Damiris Dantas remains in concussion protocol, and Sophie Cunningham, Sydney Colson, Aari McDonald and Chloe Bibby all landed on season-ending injured reserve.
Now, with the season hanging in the balance, the Fever took to X on Saturday to remind fans to "rep Fever red, wear the t-shirt, bring the 🔥" for Sunday’s Red Out.
Indiana opened the series with a stunning 89–73 upset on the Aces’ home floor, powered by Kelsey Mitchell’s playoff career-high 34 points and a balanced effort from Odyssey Sims (17 points, three steals) and Natasha Howard (12 points, 11 rebounds).
Unfortunately, Las Vegas answered in Game 2 with a 90–68 rout, showcasing the depth that carried them to a 30-14 record (2nd in WNBA): 2025 MVP A'ja Wilson delivered 25 points, nine rebounds and five steals, while NaLyssa Smith added 18 points and seven rebounds and Jackie Young provided 13 points and five assists.
Game 3 in Indianapolis was tight through three quarters, but Indiana went cold late, scoring just three points through the first eight minutes of the fourth quarter, and allowed a 12-3 Aces run that sealed the 84–72 final.
Mitchell added 21 points, while Lexie Hull battled through a nagging back injury to post 16 points, 10 rebounds, four assists and two blocks.
