The Indiana Fever are officially rolling. With their commanding 88–78 win over the Dallas Wings, they’ve now won four straight games—continuing their late-season surge in the 2025 WNBA campaign.
Dominance from the Start
Although the game was tied 22–22 after the first quarter, the Fever took control in the second, outscoring Dallas 26–20 to lead at the half. By the third quarter, they had stretched their lead further, holding a 12-point advantage at one point. Dallas threatened late, cutting the deficit to six with just over five minutes left, but Indiana never lost their grip on the game.
Kelsey Mitchell Back in Form
After a quieter game against Phoenix, Kelsey Mitchell bounced back in a big way—dropping 23 points and leading the Fever’s scoring attack. Her performance set the tone early and helped keep the Wings on their heels.
Ari McDonald and the Bench Show Up
Aari McDonald followed up her 27-point game with another strong outing—15 points, 6 assists, and 4 threes made. Her energy continues to be a game-changer for Indiana.
The Fever bench was once again a difference-maker. After dropping 32 points against Phoenix, they added 21 more against Dallas. Players like Lexie Hull, Dantas, and Chloe Bibby (who scored 6 points in limited minutes and hit 2-of-3 from deep) have made an undeniable impact. Sydney Colson stayed hot from beyond the arc, continuing her red-hot shooting.
Dominating the Glass & Sharing the Ball
Indiana crushed Dallas on the boards, out-rebounding them 44–30. Natasha Howard was relentless, grabbing 16 rebounds to go with 11 points and 5 assists—helping Aaliyah Boston battle down low.
Speaking of Boston, she delivered a double-double of her own (12 points, 10 rebounds) and added 5 assists. Her leadership continues to show even when she starts games slowly.
Sophie Cunningham vs. Paige Bueckers
Sophie Cunningham was tasked with a tough defensive assignment, guarding rookie standout Paige Bueckers. While Bueckers got her buckets, Cunningham and the Fever defense made her work for every point—especially limiting her beyond the arc.

Looking Ahead: Can They Secure a Top-4 Seed?
With this win, the Fever are just a half-game out of the 4th or 5th seed. Upcoming matchups—including a pivotal road game at Seattle—could shape their playoff trajectory. If the Fever can stay hot, and if Caitlin Clark returns healthy, this team could be very dangerous come playoff time.
Final Thoughts
The Fever are showing identity, depth, and resilience. With the bench producing, stars shining, and chemistry improving, this is starting to look like a team no one wants to face.
Chloe Bibby’s emergence adds another layer of floor-spacing, and if she gets more minutes, it could open things up even more for the Fever offense.
