Indiana Fever Defeat Top‑Seeded Lynx 96‑77 in Final Home Game

In its last regular‑season game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, the Indiana Fever outscored the league‑best Minnesota Lynx 96‑77. The Fever built a 23‑point halftime lead, the largest deficit the Lynx had suffered that season, and maintained control despite a late rally from Minnesota’s bench. Rookie Olivia Miles sat out for the Lynx with a calf injury, while Fever coach Cheryl Reeve shifted minutes between Sophie Cunningham and Raven Johnson, giving Cunningham more playing time and smoothing the offense. Caitlin Clark finished with 27 points, nine rebounds and seven assists, joining Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell—who recorded her 27th straight 20‑point game—for a 67‑point trio. The victory provides the Fever with a surge of momentum heading into the playoffs and keeps their pursuit of first‑round home‑court advantage alive. The team will finish the season with a rematch in Minnesota on Thursday.
