Game Recap

The Indiana Fever defeated the Golden State Valkyries 90-82, closing out an eight-point win behind a balanced offensive performance from their core contributors. Indiana’s scoring depth proved decisive, with Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell all reaching at least 19 points as the Fever maintained enough separation late to secure the result. Clark led Indiana with 22 points, while Boston added 20 and Mitchell contributed 19, giving the Fever three reliable scoring options throughout the matchup. Sophie Cunningham chipped in 11 points, and Lexie Hull added 7 as Indiana generated efficient looks and finished with strong ball movement, recording 22 assists. The Fever also held statistical advantages in efficiency and rebounding. Indiana shot 51.0% from the field and made 10 three-pointers, while Golden State shot 40.0% overall and finished 7-of-22 from beyond the arc. The Fever also won the rebounding battle 34-28, helping limit second-chance opportunities and control important stretches of the game. For Indiana, the win reinforces the value of having multiple perimeter and interior scoring threats involved in the offense. Golden State, meanwhile, will look to improve its shot-making and playmaking after finishing with 11 assists, as the Valkyries were unable to consistently match the Fever’s offensive rhythm over the full game.
