The Minnesota Lynx defeated the Indiana Fever 108-100 on Sunday, ending the Fever's five-game winning streak and improving their own record to 25-6. The game took place at the Target Center in Minneapolis, where the Lynx extended their winning streak to 10 games. Indiana's loss dropped their record to 19-11.
The Fever faced challenges due to a demanding travel schedule, having played three road games in six days, including stops in Seattle, Portland, and Minneapolis. This game started approximately 36 hours after their previous game in Portland. Despite the fatigue, Indiana made a strong effort, with Kelsey Mitchell scoring 37 points and Caitlin Clark contributing 19 points and 10 assists.
The Lynx's Courtney Williams led her team with 27 points, while Olivia Miles added 28 points, helping to secure the victory. The Fever managed to pull within two points in the fourth quarter but could not complete the comeback. Indiana's offense performed well, shooting 57% from the field and scoring over 100 points for the sixth consecutive game, a WNBA record.
The Fever will have a break before their next game against the Las Vegas Aces on Thursday, allowing them time to recover from their recent schedule.
