WNBA playoffs: Indiana Fever force decisive semifinals Game 5 with 90-83 win over Las Vegas Aces

The Indiana Fever have even more fight left in them, pushing the Las Vegas Aces to a decisive Game 5 after a 90-83 win in Game 4 of their semifinal series on Sunday afternoon at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

Indiana was in the driver's seat for much of the game, and while it never built a huge lead, the Fever managed to keep momentum on their side behind huge efforts from Aliyah Boston, Kelsey Mitchell and Odyssey Sims.

Former South Carolina Gamecocks A'ja Wilson and Boston put on a show, with Wilson putting up a game-high in points, but it was Boston, who had a double-double, whose Herculean effort ensured her Fever's season wouldn't end Sunday.

Wilson, meanwhile, kept writing her name in the WNBA history books, passing Maya Moore for fourth all-time in playoff field goals made, behind only Diana Taurasi, DeWanna Bonner and Candace Parker. Wilson also moved up the list of all-time playoff rebounds, passing Jonquel Jones' 484. Bonner, Parker, Tamika Catchings (who was watching courtside at Gainbridge) and Rebekkah Brunson top that list.

The winner-take-all Game 5 is Tuesday night back in Las Vegas. Whoever wins will advance to the WNBA Finals, which begin on Friday night.
