Indiana Fever Reach WNBA Semifinals After Upset Win Over Atlanta Dream

The Indiana Fever have advanced to the WNBA semifinals for the first time since 2015, overcoming significant adversity including the absence of star player Caitlin Clark due to injury. The Fever defeated the Atlanta Dream in a dramatic three-game series, culminating in a clutch defensive play by Lexie Hull who stole a last-second inbound pass to secure an 87-85 victory. Key contributions also came from Kelsey Mitchell, Aliyah Boston, and Odyssey Sims, reflecting a strong collective effort and resilience under pressure. Despite being underdogs and having all expert predictions favor the Dream, the Fever's balanced team performance and determination have rewritten expectations for the franchise. Clark, though sidelined, celebrated the win enthusiastically and acknowledged the team's achievement on social media. The Fever now prepare to face the Las Vegas Aces in the semifinals, buoyed by their recent success and team chemistry.
