The Indiana Fever, without an injured Caitlin Clark in their lineup, dominated the Las Vegas Aces in an 81-54 drubbing Thursday night. Aces coach Becky Hammon called the losing effort "three quarters of trash" and ripped her team over its lack of effort in a contest that was never particularly close.

Athlon Sports. Things have been going well for the Indiana Fever over the past few games. They head into Saturday's matchup against the Los Angeles Sparks riding a three-game winning streak. That streak includes a Commissioner's Cup Championship win over the Minnesota Lynx.

The Aces trailed the entire game and were routed by the Fever 81-54 on Thursday. So one-sided was the game that Aces coach Becky Hammon waved the white flag about midway through the fourth quarter, pulling her starters with 6:32 remaining in the game.
