Behind Kelsey Mitchell's playoff career-high 34 points, the sixth-seeded Indiana Fever spoiled the celebration for Most Valuable Player A'ja Wilson and the host Las Vegas Aces with an 89-73 Game 1 upset in their WNBA semifinal matchup on Sunday.

Wilson received her league record fourth MVP before tipoff on Sunday, but it was Indiana taking the spotlight virtually from the get-go in the opener of the best-of-five series.

The Fever swarmed on Wilson defensively, forcing her into 6-of-22 shooting from the floor for the game and an 0-for-6 start on her initial field-goal attempts.

Wilson finished with 16 point and 13 rebounds, but through a combination of Indiana defense and foul trouble, was stymied in the second half. She managed just four points and two boards after intermission.
