Indiana fell behind early and never recorded. The road team trailed by 13 at the break before the Fire extended its advantage to 25 points through three quarters. Leading 98-79 in the fourth, Portland opted to sit most of its starters down the stretch.
Aliyah Boston scored a team-high 18 points and collected seven rebounds. Kelsey Mitchell added 17 points and four assists, while Caitlin Clark was held to six points, going 1-for-7 from the field.
On the other side, the Dream enter this battle with two straight wins. The team's latest triumph was a 91-75 victory against the Connecticut Sun.
The game remained close through three, with Atlanta clinging to a three-point lead entering the fourth quarter. The Dream pulled away for good, thanks to a 23-10 edge, a stretch that was fueled by a 7-0 run to begin the period.
Rhyne Howard and Allisha Gray were virtually unstoppable. Howard powered the offense with a game-high 36 points on 12-for-24 shooting. Gray finished with 26 points and seven rebounds in 26 minutes of action.
Despite losing its last two games, Indiana enters this showdown as a 1.5-point favorite. Here's a look at what you need to know for both teams ahead of this contest.
Indiana owns the recent series at 3–2, but Atlanta has been steady away from home with the same mark. It’s a toss‑up on paper, but the Dream’s top‑five defense tilts the matchup in their favor.
