Indiana Looks To Build On Impressive Win Against Seattle

After dropping back-to-back games against the Golden State Valkyries and the Las Vegas Aces, the Fever got back into the win column with a 94-86 victory over the Seattle Storm on Tuesday night.

Aliyah Boston was the standout performer for the Fever. She scored a game-high 31 points on 13-of-18 shooting. She also tallied eight rebounds, three assists, and two steals. Kelsey Mitchell logged 26 points, four rebounds, and four assists, shooting 8-for-13 overall and an impressive 5-for-7 from beyond the arc.

Indiana led by six points at the break before outscoring the Storm by a 30-19 margin in the third quarter. Despite a 28-19 scoring edge by Seattle in the final frame, it wasn’t enough to prevent Indiana from getting the victory.

Sparks Hope To Snap Four-Game Losing Streak

Following a 97-89 victory against the Aces on Jun. 11, the Sparks have dropped four straight, including a 97-86 setback against the Chicago Sky on Tuesday.

Azura Stevens and Kelsey Plum guided an offense in which four starters reached double figures. Stevens was a force at both ends of the floor, finishing with 21 points, seven rebounds, four steals, and four blocked shots.

Although Plum did not have a great shooting night (6-of-17 overall and 0-for-6 from deep), she still managed to put up 20 points, along with five assists and two rebounds. The Sparks led by 12 points (29-17) after the first quarter, but Chicago cut the deficit to two points entering the fourth quarter.

With the game tied at 72-72, Sky forward Kamilla Cardoso scored five straight points, giving Chicago a 77-72 advantage. The Sky increased their lead from there en route to outscoring Los Angeles by a 30-17 margin.
