Indiana Fever secured a 106-92 victory over the New York Liberty, continuing their impressive hot streak. Kelsey Mitchell led the scoring for the Fever with 28 points, while Caitlin Clark contributed 22 points and 10 assists. The Fever dominated the first half, shooting an impressive 59% from the field and 79% from three-point range, leading 64-46 at halftime.

This victory followed a spirited 2.5-minute pregame display by coach Stephanie White, which seemed to energize the team. The Fever maintained their lead without allowing a double-digit deficit to creep back in, unlike their loss to defending WNBA champion Las Vegas the previous week. Mitchell was a standout, sinking 11 of 16 attempts from the field and making four three-pointers, while Clark and Sophie Cunningham each made four threes.

Aliyah Boston chipped in with 19 points and seven rebounds, while the Fever's defense held firm. Indiana opened the second quarter with a 15-7 run, stretching their lead to 54-37. Though New York made a late charge, Indiana's three-point shooting sagged in the third quarter, allowing the Fever to pull away 87-67. The Fever closed out the game with Mitchell's three-point play and Cunningham's final-minute three, cementing their impressive 7-game winning streak.
