Why the Fever's latest win over the Aces is such a big deal

The Indiana Fever pulled off a rare feat on Thursday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The team beat the A’ja Wilson Las Vegas Aces.

As much as that might be just another win in the regular-season record, it does snap a staggering Aces streak going all the way back to 2019.

The Fever’s 81-54 victory snapped the Aces’ 16-game win streak going back to the 2019 season. Yes, the Aces had topped the Fever 16 straight times before Thursday night’s Indy win. That is a long time.

In fact, this is only the fifth time the Fever have defeated the Aces since 2015. That makes Thursday night’s win all that much sweeter for Indy, a night where the team already managed to overcome not having superstar guard Caitlin Clark.

We’re sure the Aces will be eager to start another 16-game winning streak, but at least for Thursday night, the Fever can claim to be the victors.
