Indiana led by 14 points at the break before the Mystics rallied to take a one-point lead with 4.3 seconds left in regulation. Following a timeout, Caitlin Clark nailed a back-breaking 3-pointer with 1.2 seconds left to help the Fever hold on for a two-point win.
Clark was one of three players in double figures for Indiana. Clark led the way with 19 points, five assists, and three rebounds. Kelsey Mitchell added 16, while Aliyah Boston rounds out the trio with 14 points, 10 boards, and three assists. The Fever now return home looking to extend their winning streak.
The Sky ended a five-game skid by beating Connecticut on Jun. 5. Unfortunately, they have dropped each of their last two games, including an 82-75 setback against the Atlanta Dream.
Although Chicago has struggled this season, it still held a 61–57 lead early in the third quarter. But a 25–14 push the rest of the way allowed Atlanta to take control, ultimately securing a tough road win.
Natasha Cloud scored a team-high 18 points, along with six rebounds and four assists. Skylar Diggins finished with 17 on 5-for-15 shooting. The Sky head to Indiana looking to avoid a third straight loss.
After a narrow win against the Mystics, Indiana enters this duel as a 9.5-point favorite. Here's a look at what you need to know for both teams ahead of this contest.
The Fever have controlled this series, winning eight of the previous 10 matchups. Chicago, meanwhile, has been uneven on the road with a 2–3 mark across its last five away games. With those trends moving in opposite directions, Indiana enters with a slight but noticeable edge.
