The Indiana Fever responded to Sunday’s heavy defeat by beating the top-seeded Minnesota Lynx 96–77 in their final regular-season home game. The convincing victory restored momentum before the playoffs and strengthened Indiana’s push for first-round home-court advantage, although Minnesota was without rookie Olivia Miles because of a calf injury.

Caitlin Clark led all scorers with 27 points, nine rebounds and seven assists, while Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell helped the Fever’s leading trio combine for 67 points. Mitchell recorded her 27th consecutive game with at least 20 points, and Indiana’s decision to give Sophie Cunningham more minutes than Raven Johnson helped improve the offence. Minnesota briefly reduced the deficit to single digits in the third quarter after trailing by 23 at half-time, and the teams will meet again in Minnesota on Thursday.
