"INDIANAPOLIS -- All-Star center Aliyah Boston finished with 24 points and 14 rebounds and Kelsey Mitchell scored 25 points to help the Indiana Fever avoid elimination in the WNBA semifinals with a 90-83 victory over the second-seeded Las Vegas Aces on Sunday. The best-of-five series is now tied 2-2 with a winner-take-all Game 5 set for Tuesday in Las Vegas. The winner faces either top-seeded Minnesota or fourth-seeded Phoenix."
"The technical foul gave Indiana one free throw and possession of the ball, and the Fever made all three free throws to take an 87-77 lead. The Fever broke out their "Stranger Things" uniforms, perhaps trying to send a message it wouldn't let the high-powered Aces run roughshod over a team missing four key players -- Caitlin Clark, Sophie Cunningham, Sydney Colson and Aari McDonald -- because of injuries."
"Boston and Mitchell then delivered it by leading the Fever to their second straight elimination-game victory in this year's playoffs. They won the final two games against Atlanta in a best-of-three first-round series. Boston went 10-of-13 at the free-throw line while Mitchell had four assists. Odyssey Sims had 18 points and made four key free throws to close it out. Lexie Hull added seven points, seven rebounds and four steals."
