🌟 Fever Catch Fire in the Fourth to Secure 85–77 Win Over Connecticut

Boston, MA — July 15, 2025:
In front of a roaring, sold-out crowd of 19,156 fans at TD Garden, the Indiana Fever continued their strong mid-season form, defeating the Connecticut Sun 85–77 in a hard-fought WNBA showdown.

The win marks Indiana's third straight victory, following previous wins over the Atlanta Dream and Dallas Wings—the Fever's first three-game win streak of the season.


🔥 First Half: Strong Start, Tight Battle

Indiana opened the night with red-hot shooting, starting 8-for-8 from the floor, including 10 early points from veteran Natasha Howard. Despite the offensive burst, the Sun stayed close, trimming the lead to just one point by the end of the first quarter.

In the second quarter, scoring slowed for both sides. The Fever posted only 15 points, but clutch shots from Kelsey Mitchell (6 points) and a late three-pointer by Sophie Cunningham helped Indiana head into halftime with a narrow 44–42 lead.


⚔️ Second Half: Lead Swings and Late Separation

The third quarter featured a back-and-forth rhythm, with neither team gaining much separation. But consistent contributions from Mitchell (6 points), Howard (5 points), and Cunningham (5 points) kept Indiana just ahead, holding a 62–60 edge entering the fourth.

The game remained tight until Caitlin Clark—who had been relatively quiet—caught fire in the final period, dropping 9 crucial points. Aliyah Boston added 8 fourth-quarter points of her own, helping Indiana finally pull away and seal the victory.
