Kelsey Mitchell set the tone early for the Fever, pouring in 20 of her game-high 28 points in a scorching first half.Mitchell finished 11-of-16 from the field, relentlessly attacking New York’s defense off the bounce and knocking down contested jumpers to keep the Liberty on their heels throughout the night.

Clark’s court vision consistently unlocked open looks for her teammates, particularly in the interior where center Aliyah Boston delivered an efficient 19 points and seven rebounds.

The barrage reached its peak in the opening quarters, with the Fever executing at a 79% clip from beyond the arc in the first half to establish a commanding 64-46 lead at the break.

The fiery performance followed an intense pregame moment from Indiana head coach Stephanie White, who passionately defended her squad and addressed off-court narratives in her media session. That pregame energy translated directly onto the court, as the Fever played with heightened urgency and refused to let their double-digit advantage slip away in the second half.

Breanna Stewart and Sabrina Ionescu paced the Liberty with 19 points apiece, while Jonquel Jones added 14 points and 10 rebounds, but New York was unable to make a sustained run against Indiana’s relentless scoring.
