Atlanta DreamvsIndiana Fever
ATL 71/IND 83
Things to say
Indiana Fever beat the Atlanta Dream 83-71 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
01
opener
Fever took care of business at home, 83-71 over Atlanta. Felt like Indiana had the answer every time the Dream tried to climb back. ATL just couldn't buy a bucket down the stretch.
02
key player
Kelsey Mitchell was an absolute clinic — 25 points and ice in her veins. She was getting buckets at all three levels.
03
hot take
Everybody talks Caitlin Clark, but Mitchell is the one who carries that offense when it matters. Clark dished 8 dimes but it was Kelsey getting the daggers.
04
deep cut
Angel Reese still grabbed 10 boards in the loss — she's been a double-double machine. Atlanta's record is better than Indiana's, by the way, so this one stings a little extra for the Dream.
05
exit
Anyway, we'll see if Atlanta can get right next time out — they're still over .500 so it ain't panic time.
The recap
Fever took care of business at home, 83-71 over Atlanta. Kelsey Mitchell was cooking all night for 25, and Clark ran the show with 8 dimes while Boston cleaned up the glass.
Atlanta couldn't buy a bucket — Jordin Canada's 13 led the team, which tells you everything about how the Dream's offense looked. Angel Reese ate on the boards with 10, but it wasn't enough; ATL took the L and dropped to 6-3.
