00:00On July 13, 2025, Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis brimmed with anticipation

00:12Fresh off a comeback win against Atlanta,

00:14Indiana seized control with a franchise record 64 first-half points and never looked back,

00:20powering to a 102-83 victory.

00:23Kelsey Mitchell's aggressive drives and Natasha Howard's interior dominance

00:27complemented Kaitlin Clark's court vision,

00:30while Dallas' Paige Buchers fought valiantly but could not withstand Indiana's relentless pace.

00:54The opening quarter set the tone.

00:56Bucher struck first with a 29-foot-3,

01:00and Lee Ueru followed with a turnaround jumper that lifted Dallas to a 16-11 lead.

01:06Indiana answered immediately.

01:08Clark threaded a perfect touchdown pass to Sophie Cunningham for a transition layup,

01:13and Mitchell's backdoor pull-up tied the game.

01:16Boston's physical post played drew defenders,

01:19freeing Michaela Tempton for a high arc turnaround at 4-22,

01:22and Ari McDonald's mid-range pull-up gave Indiana a 28-27 edge when the buzzer sounded.

01:29In the second quarter, the fever's offense erupted.

01:33McDonald's catch-and-shoot triple ignited a 12-2 run,

01:36and Clark's second touchdown dime,

01:38to Howard cutting the baseline,

01:41sent the crowd into a frenzy.

01:43Indiana converted 76% of its attempts and pushed the lead to 64-42,

01:48eclipsing all single-half scoring marks in WNBA history.

01:52Their 30 assists on 39 made shots underscored a sharing mentality.

01:58Dallas sought answers in the third.

02:00Bucher's pull-up tray and Ueru's post-hooks briefly trimmed the gap to 16,

02:05but Indiana's second unit,

02:07helmed by Temi Fagbenel and Brianna Jones,

02:10kept the margin intact.

02:11The fever matched Dallas's 21 third-quarter points

02:15and entered the fourth leading 84-63.

02:18The difference carved by opportunistic defense and fast-break precision.

02:23The final stanza confirmed Indiana's depth and discipline.

02:27Even as Eric Ogunbowl returned from injury for Dallas,

02:31going zero for 10 in 35 minutes,

02:33Clark orchestrated the half-court with precision,

02:36finishing with 14 points, 13 assists, and 5 steals.

02:40Mitchell stepped back three at 7-10,

02:43extended the cushion to 95-75,

02:46and Howard's baseline dunk at 1-23 sealed the outcome.

02:50Despite Bucher's 21 points and Myesha Hines-Allen's 12 rebounds,

02:55Dallas could not counter.

02:56The fever closed the quarter 18-20 to secure their 11th win.

03:01Indiana's historic first half was forged on exceptional ball movement

03:05and ferocious transition.

03:06Their 30 assists on 39 baskets and 28 transition points

03:10sprang from 18 forced turnovers,

03:13while 11 offensive rebounds fueled second-chance efficiency.

03:17Mitchell's 25 points, her second-stitch outburst in three games,

03:21blended downhill drives with pull-up threes.

03:25Boston's 17-point, 11-rebound, double-double anchored the inside,

03:29and Clark's 13 assists and 5 steals validated her growth as an elite facilitator.

03:35Dallas shot 44.3% overall and saw Bucher's poor in 21,

03:41but 18 turnovers and failure to secure defensive boards' 11 offensive rebounds for Indiana

03:47capped their resistance.

03:49Indiana's core strength is its roster versatility.

03:52Boston's low-post command demands help,

03:55creating kickouts for perimeter scorers Mitchell and Cunningham,

03:59who combined for 27 bench points, into open looks.

04:03McDonald's harassing defense catalyzes easy baskets in transition,

04:08and Clark's distribution, 13 assists, ensures cohesion.

04:12This depth allows Indiana to maintain relentless pace.

04:17However, their dependence on transition and pick-and-roll actions

04:20can stall against playoff defenses that anchor the paint.

04:24In longer half-court possessions,

04:26the fever risks settling for contested jumpers.

04:29Their three-point consistency fluctuates, dipping below 30% in prior games.

04:35To address this, Indiana should integrate mid-range pick-and-pop action for Boston and Hull,

04:41flaring them to the elbow to stretch defenses,

04:44and script staggered off-ball screens to fracture traps.

04:47Enhancing Dantas's floor-spacing role will further crack paint-packed coverages.

04:52To build on this performance, Indiana should drill mid-game trap-reset cues,

04:58show strong, swipe, recover help.

05:01In practice, until communication under fatigue is instinctual.

05:05Offensively, introducing four new mid-range pick-and-pop sets for Boston,

05:09at the elbow will stretch defenses and open driving lanes.

05:13Staggered slip-screen sequences for Hull will punish over-aggressive hedges.

05:18Lexi Hull ought to run secondary creation drills against live double teams to sharpen her pull-up game.

05:25Rebounding sessions must emphasize box-out discipline,

05:29and immediate outlet reads to transform boards into transition opportunities.

05:34Finally, scrimmaging up 10 with two minutes left,

05:37scenarios against trap defenses will harden composure for playoff-style closes.

05:41Dallas' chief strengths are Buchers' shooting creativity,

05:4521 points on 9 of 15,

05:47and Uru's efficient post-play, 16 on 8 of 11.

05:52Heinz Allen's 12 rebounds and Walker Kimbrough's perimeter defense add complementary value.

05:58Their ability to generate open looks in the third quarter showed potential.

06:02Yet 18 turnovers and failure to secure defensive boards,

06:06allowing 11 second-chance rebounds,

06:09undermine their effort.

06:10Over-reliance on Buchers makes their half-court offense predictable.

06:15Dallas must script quick elevator screen and dribble handoff slip sets for Buchers and Uru

06:20to generate catch-and-shoot opportunities before traps coalesce.

06:25Adding Princeton cuts and horns action with Uru will diversify scoring.

06:30Defensively, drop coverage in pick-and-roll situations can allow Uru to protect the rim

06:35while perimeter defenders can test shooters and recover rapidly.

06:39Dallas should analyze missed help rotations and slow closeouts that facilitated Indiana's transition flurry.

06:46Practice should feature high-intensity pick-and-roll drills where defenders rotate through stunts

06:52and recover within two seconds.

06:54Offense must incorporate quick elevator screen and dribble handoff slip sequences for Buchers,

07:00creating swift catch-and-shoot looks.

07:01Under the rim movement, Princeton cuts involving Uru needs embedding in half-court sets to diversify scoring.

07:10Bench rotations must integrate Walker Kimbrough and Jones into end-game lineups to boost rebounding and defensive toughness.

07:17A load management plan, strategic timeouts, and rest swaps will guard against fatigue as the regular season reaches its crescendo.

07:27Indiana's 102-83 win reaffirmed their blueprint of balance scoring, clampdown defense, and bench depth.

07:35Kaitlin Clark reflected,

07:36Our pressure sparked our offense, and trust in each other made every run possible.

07:42Veteran analyst Cheryl Reeve hailed it as a masterclass in pace and synergy.

07:48Teams will dissect this for months.

07:50As the fever either postseason and the wings recalibrate for another push, one question endures.

07:57Will Indiana's multifaceted assault or Dallas' emerging core prevail when the stakes reach their peak?
