Indiana Fever Beat Los Angeles Sparks 76-75 Move to Sixth Place

The Indiana Fever narrowly defeated the Los Angeles Sparks 76-75 in a tense WNBA game highlighted by both strong performances and contentious officiating. Aliyah Boston led the Fever with 22 points, 11 rebounds, four assists, and a career-high six steals, including a crucial steal with 1.9 seconds left that sealed the victory. Odyssey Sims contributed 21 points, scoring the final five points of the game, while key players like Kelsey Mitchell added 12 points despite missing two late free throws. The Fever moved a half-game ahead of Seattle for sixth place in the standings, tightening the playoff race with five games remaining. The game was marked by frustration over officiating, as Indiana players vocally protested missed calls, leading to technical fouls and widespread criticism of the referees, with Caitlin Clark notably shouting "call it, call it!" in frustration. Los Angeles, falling behind in the standings, was unable to capitalize despite efforts from Azura Stevens and others, ending a three-game winning streak against Indiana.
