Match Overview

From the opening tip, both teams attacked the rim and the three-point line with relentless pace. Atlanta’s offense clicked early, shooting 54% from the field in the first half and building a 58–49 lead at the break.

• Caitlin Clark (Indiana): 24 points, 12 assists, 5 rebounds. The rookie sensation recorded her seventh double‑double of the season, but her six turnovers hurt the Fever’s rhythm.

Table and Season Impact

The win lifted Atlanta into fourth place in the WNBA standings, one game behind the idle New York Liberty. Indiana dropped to sixth, now 2.5 games out of a top‑four spot. The two teams meet again in Atlanta on July 3.

For the Fever, the loss highlighted defensive lapses against a deep Dream roster. Indiana allowed 108 points, their second‑highest total of the season, and could not stop Atlanta’s pick‑and‑roll attack. “We had chances, but we let them get too comfortable from the perimeter,” Fever head coach Christie Sides said post‑game.

The Dream, meanwhile, improved to 6‑4 on the road and snapped a three‑game losing streak against Indiana dating back to 2024.
