Aliyah Boston delivered a career-high 31 points for the Fever, while Kelsey Mitchell added 26 points, including five 3-pointers. Despite missing star guard Caitlin Clark for the 16th consecutive game due to injury, Indiana managed to control the pace and finish strong in front of their home crowd.
The Storm, who came into the game at 20-18 and had recently recovered from a six-game losing streak by winning four of their last five, were led by Nneka Ogwumike and Ezi Magbegor, each contributing key baskets. Rookie Dominique Malonga continued to provide a spark off the bench, helping Seattle’s offense maintain a 109.0 rating over the last five games, according to analytics from HerHoopStats.com.
Statistically, the Fever shot 41.4% from the field and hit 44.4% from beyond the arc, outpacing Seattle’s 40% overall shooting. The teams were closely matched in rebounds and turnovers, but Indiana capitalized in the fourth quarter to seal the win. The Fever have now won both matchups against the Storm this season, including a previous road victory without Clark in the lineup.
Looking ahead, Indiana remains in a tight playoff race, with every game critical to securing a postseason berth. The Storm, meanwhile, will look to regroup as they aim to strengthen their own playoff positioning.
