Fever surge to dominant 99-82 home win over Dream as Caitlin Clark ramps up from injury

The Indiana Fever defeated the Atlanta Dream 99-82 in their fourth and final regular season matchup. After a close first half where Atlanta led by five points, the Fever surged offensively in the second half to secure the 17-point home victory.

Atlanta guard Jordin Canada had an outstanding first half, scoring a career-high 26 points including six 3-pointers, helping the Dream build their halftime lead. However, Canada cooled off after halftime, finishing with a career-best 30 points total. The Dream initially extended their lead to seven in the third quarter before Indiana took control.

The Fever benefited from a rare fully healthy roster. While Caitlin Clark, still returning from injury, had a relatively quiet night with 12 points and 9 assists (shooting 1-7 from three), other key players stepped up. Kelsey Mitchell led Indiana with 25 points, including a clutch late three-pointer. Aliyah Boston contributed 19 points, 6 rebounds, and 8 assists before fouling out late in the fourth quarter, receiving a standing ovation from the home crowd. Sophie Cunningham provided significant bench production with a 16-point double-double in nearly 30 minutes of play.

For Atlanta, forward Rhyne Howard returned after leaving in the first half with a left leg injury, finishing with 14 points. Despite Canada's career performance, the Dream struggled overall with shooting efficiency, particularly in the paint, and were outrebounded.
