The Indiana Fever opened their Commissioner’s Cup defense with a commanding 83-71 victory over the Atlanta Dream, powered by an elite display from their big three.
Kelsey Mitchell stole the spotlight, exploding for 25 points on efficient 11-of-15 shooting. Her personal 11-point flurry in the third quarter effectively broke the game open, while she also surpassed 5,000 career points. Aliyah Boston anchored the interior with 19 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 blocks, while Caitlin Clark orchestrated the offense beautifully, flirting with a triple-double by tallying 17 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists.

In contrast, Indiana’s defense neutralized Atlanta’s perimeter stars. Allisha Gray struggled heavily, shooting just 5-of-18 for 13 points, while Rhyne Howard was limited to just 8 points on 2-of-9 shooting. Jordin Canada and Naz Hillmon chipped in 13 and 12 points, respectively, while Angel Reese logged a double-double with 11 points, 10 rebounds, and 2 blocks. However, Atlanta’s 34.3% team shooting couldn’t match the Fever’s firepower, as Indiana shot 44% from the field and 44% from beyond the arc.
Game highlights;
Indiana Fever will face New York Liberty, while Atlanta will host Washington Mystics, both games will be this Saturday.
