Los Angeles SparksvsIndiana Fever
LA 87/IND 111
Things to say
The Indiana Fever blew out the Los Angeles Sparks 111-87 at home.
01
opener
Fever just ran the Sparks off the floor, 111-87. Wasn't even close after the first half. LA never had an answer.
02
key player
Kelsey Mitchell was cooking — 26 points, just couldn't miss. She's been the most underrated bucket-getter in the league all year.
03
hot take
Honestly the Sparks are a mess. When Nneka's your leading scorer with 17, you don't have enough.
04
deep cut
Aliyah Boston only needed 7 boards because Indiana was up so big the starters sat. Raven Johnson quietly ran the offense too.
05
exit
Fever are 11-8 and trending up — gonna be fun to see if they keep climbing the standings.
The recap
Indiana ran the Sparks out of the gym at home, 111-87, and it wasn't really close. Kelsey Mitchell was the engine all night, dropping 26 and just getting buckets at will.
Aliyah Boston handled the paint and Raven Johnson kept the offense humming, while LA never found an answer. Nneka Ogwumike did what she could with 17 and 7, but one player can't carry a 24-point beatdown — Sparks took the L on the road.
