Already solidified as one of the WNBA’s must-see talents, Kelsey Plum — in front of the largest regular-season audience since 1999 — showed that even within an arena with 20,366 sets of eyes, Indiana had better get a few more of those directed at her. One bucket away from both a season-high and her 2024 campaign’s first 30-piece, the smooth-shooting southpaw, recognizing the Fever’s scrambled defense, drifts into an uncovered area along the right wing before burying a lead-extending 3-pointer. Plum used the superb outing to springboard a sizzling offensive stretch in which she scored 20+ points in four consecutive games. The performance would ultimately offer 34 points (on 11-of-20 shooting), six rebounds, five assists, one steal, and six 3-pointers. Joining her eventual Most Valuable Player-winning teammate on the 25-point plateau for the fifth time in their duo’s history (second-most in league history), the Las Vegas Aces had everything required to leave with a memorable victory on July 2, 2024. · Jul 3, 2024
