Kelsey Mitchell's 700th Three-Pointer Wasn't Enough, and Indiana's Streak Is GONE

Alright, Seattle fam, you gotta hear about this WNBA thriller that went down Thursday night! The Atlanta Dream rolled into Indianapolis and absolutely shut down the Indiana Fever, holding off a wild comeback for a 108-101 win at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. This was a massive statement from the Dream, who snapped the Fever's four-game winning streak and kept them from moving up in the standings. You love to see a team stand firm when the pressure is on, even if it wasn't our squad out there.

Fever's Wild Comeback Almost Stole It

Indiana, man, they put on a show for their home crowd, almost pulling off an insane comeback. They were down big, trailing 83-70 with just over two minutes left in the third quarter. But with a little over seven minutes left in the fourth, the Fever just flipped a switch, tearing off a 9-0 run! Kelsey Mitchell hit her 700th career three-pointer in the WNBA to pull them within three points, which is just insane, right? Then Sophie Cunningham, coming off the bench, hit a smooth reverse layup to tie the game at 93-93 with five minutes left on the clock. And get this, a huge chunk of that rally happened with Caitlin Clark on the bench! She picked up her fifth personal foul with 8:41 left and had to sit, but the Fever still battled. Clark and Mitchell each dropped 26 points, while Aliyah Boston added 23 points and eight boards. Cunningham chipped in 12 points off the bench, bu

t outside of those four, the Fever just couldn't get consistent scoring.

Angel Reese and the Dream Shut the Door

But even with that epic rally, the Dream just had too much in the tank. Angel Reese was an absolute force, leading Atlanta with 21 points and 11 rebounds. She delivered the dagger, hitting a layup and a free throw with just 23 seconds left in the fourth quarter to clinch the game for Atlanta. The Fever just couldn't find an answer for Reese, Allisha Gray, or Rhyne Howard in those critical final minutes. What really made the Dream shine was their balanced attack. All five starters scored 15 points or more! Jordin Canada dropped 18 points, five rebounds, and four steals. Gray and Naz Hillmon each added 17 points, and Howard chipped in 16 points, five rebounds, six assists, and two steals. That kind of widespread scoring is a nightmare for opponents, and it absolutely powered them to this win. This victory pushes Atlanta to a 10-4 record, keeping them fourth in the WNBA standings, just half a game behind the Las Vegas Aces and New York Liberty for second. On the flip side, that snapped winning streak drops the Fever to 9-6, putting them in the seventh spot in the playoff race. These two teams aren't done yet, though! They're set to face off again in Atlanta on Saturday at 1 p.m. ET for the second part of their home-and-home series. You know the Fever will be fired up for revenge, so expect another absolute battle as these teams try to find their rhythm early in the season!
