Indiana Fever snapped a two‑game skid with an 83‑71 win over the Atlanta Dream, despite star guard Caitlin Clark battling a bout of nausea at halftime. Clark finished with 17 points, eight assists and seven rebounds, shrugging off the discomfort to help the team secure its best defensive showing of the season.

The victory marked the Fever's lowest points‑allowed total, dropping opponents to 71 and cutting the league‑wide defensive average from 89.0 to a new personal best. Atlanta managed just 29 first‑half points and shot a season‑low 34.3% overall, held in check by a gritty Fever effort that featured Aliyah Boston's 19 points and seven boards.

Coach Stephanie White praised the squad's energy and accountability after a tense team meeting earlier in the week. Kelsey Mitchell hit 25 points and passed the 5,000‑career‑point milestone, underscoring the collective shift in morale. The win positions the Fever at 5‑4, reinforcing their reputation as defending Commissioner's Cup champions.
