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.

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.
