Atlanta Dream vs Indiana Fever Game Summary

The Atlanta Dream kept in step with the Indiana Fever for nearly the entire quarter before the hosts surged to end the period. Katie Lou Samuelson's back-to-back 3s under the two-minute mark was the separation the Fever needed to take a 33-24 advantage after 10 minutes.

Indiana tried on several occasions to turn the game into a rout in the second quarter. Kelsey Mitchell had 11 points in that time frame, the last three of which pushed the Fever to a 59-44 lead. Allisha Gray and Nia Coffey had their moments to keep the Fever from completely running away.

The Atlanta Dream started the second half with better emphasis on the defensive end. They had more energy and their rotations were crisper than what they showed in the first 20 minutes. Atlanta held Indiana to 14 points to cut into the lead.

The Dream trailed 73-62 to end the third period. They might have inched closer if their offense had been more efficient. A handful of turnovers doused the momentum on two of their mini-runs.

The Atlanta Dream blasted out of the gates in the final frame, dropping an 11-0 run against the Indiana Fever. Two free throws by Cheyenne Parker-Tyus made it 73-71 before Kelsey Mitchell ended the rally with two shots from the charity stripe.

Atlanta eventually grabbed an 80-79 lead following Rhyne Howard's 24-foot triple with 3:37 to go. Indiana responded by making clutch baskets and eventually gained an 87-82 cushion after Mitchell's floater.

The Indiana Fever, which has the least efficient defense this season, managed to hold off the Dream. A layup by Aliyah Boston and then two more free throws from Kelsey Mitchell ended the game. The hosts survived 91-84 to win their first meeting against the Dream this season.
