A'ja Wilson dominated Game 1 of the WNBA playoffs, scoring 38 points and grabbing 16 rebounds against the Indiana Fever. Despite this strong performance, Caitlin Clark led Indiana to an 99-89 victory in Game 2 with 27 points and 15 assists, becoming the first player to achieve a points-assists double-double in the first half of a playoff game. The series is now tied at one game each, setting up a decisive Game 3 in Las Vegas.
