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 and Aliyah Boston have a public discussion about Indiana Fever's playoff future that surprises fans

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

Their playful banter reflected the confidence and camaraderie that has fueled the Fever’s recent surge.

 

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.”
