Grabbed 104-100 win over the Atlanta Dream.
The Indiana Fever secured a hard-fought 104-100 victory over the Atlanta Dream, continuing their impressive post-Olympic break form with eight wins in their last ten games.
As the WNBA playoffs approach, the Fever’s late-season momentum couldn’t come at a better time.
Caitlin Clark contributed a solid 26 points, adding five rebounds and 12 assists, but it was Aliyah Boston who truly shined in the spotlight.
Boston dropped 30 points on 11-of-16 shooting, grabbed 13 rebounds, and hit the critical game-tying basket in the final seconds of regulation to force overtime.
During the post-game press conference, the chemistry between Clark and Boston was on full display. When asked if the game had a playoff feel, Clark humorously interrupted Boston’s response, reminding everyone that neither had experienced a playoff game yet.
“We’ve never played in a playoff game though, so,” she said.
Gelling up before postseason
As the Fever push toward the postseason, Clark and Boston’s dynamic partnership, along with contributions from fellow All-Star Kelsey Mitchell, has been instrumental in their success.
With their current form and high-level performances, Indiana could be a formidable force in the playoffs.
“I’m proud of us. I thought we chipped away, we were resilient, and we really executed when it mattered,” Clark said.
“I think we got down [16], and then we continued to find a way. Started off the fourth really good, and then I think they even responded and made it seven again. So just proud of our group at that time.
“I think [resilience is] one of the biggest ways we’ve improved over the course of the year … definitely here in the second half.
“I’m proud of our group. It’s just, you know, teams that are the top of our league, and obviously Atlanta is a really good team, but the Liberty, Connecticut, Minnesota, those are the type of teams that do not let you back from a 16-point lead, like that just doesn’t happen. And we have to find a way to, you know, be able to respond a little earlier.”
