It was their third and final matchup of the campaign. Fans had the opportunity to once again see Caitlin Clark, Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston face A’ja Wilson and Jackie Young.
Mitchell and Clark are playing at MVP-levels, while Boston has been a consistent contributor. Sophie Cunningham and Lexie Hull are fan favorites as well, bringing even more attention to the team.
The Fever still have scheduled clashes with Angel Reese and the Atlanta Dream and Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings. Their game versus the Chicago Sky on Aug. 23 is also highly anticipated, and they could once again reset the viewership numbers.
The Indiana Fever’s season recap
The Fever entered the season as one of the title favorites. However, they only managed a 5-5 record through the first 10 games. Indiana has since turned things around and is now 21-12 and fourth in the standings.
There’s still a lot of games left in the regular season but the team is in a good position ahead of the playoffs. It will be a tight battle for a top three seed, although the Fever are favored to secure one of them given their strong lineup. They will return to action on Friday, hosting the Wings at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
