Summary
Fourth-quarter tensions flared in Indiana when A'ja Wilson was assessed a technical foul for leaving the floor and moving toward a spectator after a physical sequence with Sophie Cunningham.
The Fever said arena security interviewed the fan and witnesses, found no violation of the WNBA Fan Code of Conduct, and did not remove the spectator.
Wilson defended confronting the fan, saying a man stepped toward her and pointed at her, while Aces coach Becky Hammon said she had never seen Wilson react that way and called the moment disrespectful.
Indiana still closed out a 99-89 win behind Caitlin Clark's 27 points and 15 assists, tying the first-round series 1-1 as it heads back to Las Vegas.
The incident echoed an Aug. 6 Aces-Fever game in Indianapolis, when fans left voluntarily after a disruption and security also found no code-of-conduct violation.
