00:56The opening quarter set the tone for what would become a defensively charged and emotionally volatile matchup.

01:04Indiana struggled to find rhythm early, scoring just 13 points in the first frame.

01:09Kaitlyn Clark, feeling the pressure of Atlanta's aggressive perimeter defense,

01:14was held scoreless from beyond the arc.

01:17However, the bench stepped up, with Sophie Cunningham making her season debut felt immediately,

01:23draining a deep three and drawing a key offensive foul.

01:27The dream, powered by early ball movement and the confidence of Tahina Pow Pow and Ryan Howard,

01:33took a five-point edge into the second quarter, capitalizing on Indiana's early shooting woes.

01:39In the second quarter, momentum began to shift as the fever found life through Damiris Dantas,

01:45who nailed a critical three-pointer to tie the game.

01:49Kelsey Mitchell, whose leadership shone throughout the night,

01:52followed up with a step-back jumper to give Indiana its first lead of the evening.

02:38Alisha Gray and Ryan Howard did their best to counter,
