Indiana FevervsPhoenix Mercury
IND 92/PHX 89
Things to say
The Indiana Fever beat the Phoenix Mercury 92-89 on the road.
01
opener
Fever went into Phoenix and took it, 92-89. Came down to the wire. Indiana just wanted it more late.
02
key player
Kelsey Mitchell was a problem all night. 29 and 8 dimes, absolute buckets. She ate them up.
03
hot take
Phoenix at 8-15 is a mess. Alyssa Thomas can't do it alone every night, that roster's thin.
04
deep cut
Aliyah Boston quietly grabbed 9 boards and owned the paint. Doesn't show in the score, but she set the tone.
05
exit
Fever look legit at 13-9. Curious to see if they keep it rolling next game.
The recap
Fever go into Phoenix and steal one, 92-89, and it was Kelsey Mitchell putting on an absolute clinic. She dropped 29 and dished 8, just cooking whenever they needed a bucket down the stretch.
Alyssa Thomas did everything she could for the Mercury with a 22-point, 7-assist night, but she got no help and Phoenix took the L to fall to 8-15. Aliyah Boston controlled the glass with 9 boards, and Indiana walked out with the road W to move to 13-9.
