Indiana Fever Advance to WNBA Semifinals After Thrilling Victory

The Indiana Fever have qualified for the WNBA semifinals for the first time since 2015, following a nail-biting 87-85 win over the Dream in Atlanta.

Kelsey Mitchell led the scoring charge for the Fever, netting 24 points, while Aliyah Boston contributed a double-double performance with 14 points and 12 rebounds. Boston also dished out 6 assists in the game.

However, the Fever's star player, Caitlin Clark, was sidelined for several weeks due to injuries, leaving a void in the team's lineup. Despite her absence, the Fever managed to rally together and secure a hard-fought victory.

The decisive third game of the quarterfinals took place around September 19, 2025, with the Fever joining the Phoenix Mercury, Minnesota Lynx, and Las Vegas Aces in the semifinals. The Mercury defeated the New York Liberty 2-1, the Lynx won their series 2-0, and the Aces clinched their spot with a 2-1 victory against the Seattle Storm. The quarterfinals began on September 14, 2025.

In the final moments of the game, Odyssey Sims made a crucial pass to Aliyah Boston at four seconds from the end of the game, sealing the Fever's victory. Allisha Gray also chipped in with 19 points for the Fever.

This victory marks a significant milestone for the Indiana Fever, who have not advanced this far in the playoffs since 2015. The Fever will now face a tough challenge in the semifinals, as they look to continue their Cinderella run in the WNBA playoffs.
