Indiana Fever, Seattle Storm Survive to Play Another Day
Written by Site Hub on September 16, 2025
Facing elimination, the Indiana Fever throttled the Atlanta Dream 77–60 in their first home playoff game since 2016, powered by Kelsey Mitchell’s 19 points and Aliyah Boston’s 15, while defense held Atlanta to its second-lowest output of the year. The win forces a decisive Game 3 in Atlanta on Thursday. Out West, the Seattle Storm stunned the defending champion Las Vegas Aces 86–83, snapping the Aces’ 17-game streak. Seattle erased a 12-point fourth-quarter deficit with a 16–4 closing run, led by Skylar Diggins’ 26 points and a late go-ahead jumper; Nneka Ogwumike and Dominique Malonga posted clutch double-doubles. Jackie Young (25) and A’ja Wilson (21, 13) paced Vegas in defeat. Both series now hinge on winner-take-all finales, with momentum swinging toward underdogs that defended, rebounded, and executed late.
