Fever Erupt in Second Half to Dominate Dream in Statement Victory
Wow, what a game last night between the Indiana Fever and the Atlanta Dream! If you missed it, you missed a second-half explosion that turned a close battle into a dominant 99–82 win for the Fever. It was electric, emotional, and exactly the kind of performance Indiana fans have been waiting for.
Kelsey Mitchell led the charge with 25 points, showing once again why she's one of the most reliable scorers in the WNBA. But this wasn't a one-woman show—Aliyah Boston was everywhere. She added 19 points, grabbed six boards, and dished out eight assists. It felt like every time the Fever needed a spark, Boston provided it. And even though Caitlin Clark struggled from the field, going just 5 of 17 and 1 of 7 from three, she still found a way to impact the game with her playmaking—dropping nine assists.

What made this win special wasn't just the scoring, it was the fight. Indiana trailed 63–60 late in the third quarter. It looked like Atlanta was going to pull away after Jordin Canada went off in the first half—she had 26 of her career-high 30 points before halftime and made six threes after coming into the game shooting just 6-for-29 from deep on the season. But when it mattered most, Indiana locked in.
They closed the third quarter by holding Atlanta scoreless from the field and scoring the final four points. Then, they exploded into the fourth with an 11–2 run and never looked back. From that moment on, the Fever controlled everything—tempo, energy, momentum. Sophie Cunningham chipped in a gritty double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds, while the Fever defense stepped up big-time, forcing key turnovers and shutting down the paint.
Let’s also give a shoutout to the crowd in Indianapolis—they were loud, proud, and fully behind this team. You could feel the shift when Indiana took control, and they rode that wave all the way to the finish line.
With this win, the Fever tie the season series with the Dream at 2–2 and improve to 10–10 overall. That’s a massive confidence boost heading into the All-Star break and the second half of the season. They've shown they can rally, defend, and dominate—now it's all about consistency.
This wasn’t just a win, it was a statement. The Fever aren’t just trying to compete—they’re trying to climb. And if they can bottle up that second-half energy, this team is going to be a real problem down the stretch.
