Timpson scores career-high 20 points and shines in OT as Fever edge Dream 95-91

Makayla Timpson delivered a stellar performance, scoring a career-high 20 points, as the Indiana Fever narrowly defeated the Atlanta Dream 95-91 in overtime to secure their fourth-place standing in the WNBA standings. Timpson's 20 points were her 19th consecutive game where she scored at least 20 points, showcasing her consistent prowess throughout the season.

Indiana managed to hold off Atlanta, led by Allisha Gray who matched her career high with 32 points. Despite this formidable effort, it wasn't enough to overcome Timpson's stellar play. Caitlin Clark contributed 26 points, including crucial free throws late in the game, while Jaylen Sherrod made her first career start in her third WNBA season.

Atlanta's top four teams are guaranteed homecourt advantage in the first round of the playoffs, adding to the significance of this win for the Fever. The Dream, however, struggled without their point guard Jordin Canada, who was unavailable due to illness, and forward Brionna Jones, who missed the game due to a left leg injury.
