Indiana Fever Beat LA Sparks 76-75 Move Into Sixth Place

The Indiana Fever secured a narrow 76-75 victory over the Los Angeles Sparks at Crypto.com Arena, bolstered by Aliyah Boston's standout performance of 22 points, 11 rebounds, and six steals, including a crucial steal with 1.9 seconds left that clinched the win. Odyssey Sims contributed 21 points, notably scoring Indiana's final five points against her former team, while Kelsey Mitchell added 12 points despite missing key free throws in the closing seconds. The Sparks, led by Azura Stevens with 17 points and contributions from Kelsey Plum and Rae Burrell, fought hard throughout but faltered in the final 30 seconds, losing their third consecutive meeting with the Fever this season. With this win, Indiana improved to 21-18, edging Seattle by half a game for the sixth playoff spot, while the Sparks fell to 17-20, trailing Golden State for the final postseason berth. The Fever's resilience was notable given the absence of star Caitlin Clark due to injury, with veteran Sims stepping up after being signed mid-season and other players like Aeriel Powers impacting the game. This victory marked a significant moment for Indiana, breaking a losing streak against the Sparks and keeping their playoff hopes alive.
