Atlanta Dream survived a late surge from Indiana Fever to win 108-101 Thursday at Gainbridge Arena. Sophie Cunningham’s reverse layup tied the game with 5:08 left, sparking a 13-6 run that sealed the road victory. The win ends Indiana’s four‑game streak and lifts the Dream to 10-4, keeping them significantly near the league’s top seed overall.

Coach Karl Smesko praised his squad’s poise, noting the atmosphere sharpened both teams. Angel Reese led Atlanta with 21 points and 11 rebounds despite a fourth‑quarter foul, while Rhyne Howard added 16 points, six assists and five boards. Indiana’s Kelsey Mitchell hit 26 points, becoming the eighth player to reach 700 career threes. Indiana fell to 9-6, offense sputtering after a strong defensive June.

Caitlin Clark matched Mitchell with 26 points and seven assists, and Aliyah Boston contributed 23 points and eight rebounds, marking the third member of a trio to post multiple 20‑plus point games this year. Their combined effort ties for the second‑most such outings in WNBA history. Clark also debuted her Caitlin 1 Nike shoe, attracting unprecedented attention to her feet.
