The Indiana Fever dominated the Las Vegas Aces, earning their third straight win.

Indiana defeated the Aces 81-54 during their five-game home stretch. As the Fever prepare for their next matchup, continuing to play in Indiana, the Aces will continue their road trip.

After the loss to the Fever, Las Vegas head coach Becky Hammon shared her thoughts on the brutal blow.

Hammon credited Aces star A'ja Wilson for her offensive ability, yet threw subtle shade at the rest of the lineup, which struggled to find any sort of rhythym against the Fever.

"We had one person score more than two field goals and that was A’ja Wilson," Hammon said, per Moreau Sports Media. "They just wanted it more than us."

A'ja Wilson finished the game with 29 points, three rebounds and one assist.

Aside from A'ja Wilson, the Las Vegas Aces mightily struggled. Becky Hammon was spot on with her postgame admission, given that the second leading scorer for the Aces posted six points.

Jackie Young finished the game with six points, one rebound and one assist.

Several other players that entered the scoring column include, Aaliyah Nye, Kiah Stokes and former Indiana Fever forward NaLyssa Smith.

The Las Vegas Aces will have an opportunity avenge the blowout loss to the Indiana Fever when they play the Connecticut Sun on Sunday at 4 p.m. ET.

After a matchup against Connecticut during their road trip, the Aces will be in New York, set to face the Liberty on Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET.
