Overview

  • Indiana completed a 5-0 season sweep of Chicago as Kelsey Mitchell scored 20 points and Natasha Howard added 18 in Indianapolis.
  • Both teams shot 52%, but the Fever took 25 more attempts by turning 24 Sky turnovers into 24 points.
  • The Fever can clinch a postseason spot with one win or one Los Angeles loss, with games left at Washington and home vs. Minnesota.
  • Chicago played without Angel Reese, who served an automatic one-game suspension for her eighth technical and a separate team suspension for comments deemed detrimental.
  • Elsewhere in the race, Golden State clinched a playoff berth in its inaugural season and set single-season WNBA attendance records, Minnesota locked up the No. 1 seed, Phoenix slipped after an upset loss, and the Sparks must win out to stay alive.
