Pretty much what everyone was expecting, a competitive playoff-type game, but man oh man did Atlanta have a great chance to win in it regulation. The Fever were down 10 and found a way to get back in it. Both teams gave most of their starter heavy minutes. I’m sure the Dream would like that fourth quarter back. Scoring only 9 points is not the way to close out a game. Clark led Indiana with 26 points and Boston had 18 points and 14 rebounds. Gray had 32 points and Reese had another double-double, but missed the game winner. It’s possible these two teams face each other in playoffs. Should be a good matchup.

The Fever win an overtime thriller! Both of these teams were neck and neck through this entire contest! Any Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese game will be awesome too, and this one definitely was! Neither team was able to pull away all game! Both teams couldn’t score in the final minute of regulation even though Angel Reese and Naz Hillmon each had some glorious opportunities in the dying seconds that they just couldn’t drain, so this would need overtime! Overtime was still close, but the Fever had a much clearer advantage in the extra frame as they take the great road win! The Dream sold very hard at the end of the fourth quarter

Oh man I didn’t realize that this one was in OT. Saw the Angel Reese missed layup at the buzzer off the well defended 3 pointer. Great game.

MVP Caitlin Clark 26 PTS, 3 REB, 9 AST These are the games we need to keep winning - close ones against other good teams. The Fever do just enough to get this one done. We could win the championship, we could also lose round 1. We’ll see!

What a game! Constantly back and forth. The stars were shining, Lish was amazing! C started off so strong you could see she was just having fun and that’s when she plays best. KK what can I say? Just incredible, especially in OT.

The Dream blew multiple opportunities to win this game the game should’ve never even made it to OT you can’t even put the blame on one person they all just went cold and couldn’t make a shot good win Fever snook out of ATL with a dub💯

Going into this one, it felt like the opposite of Sky-Storm. While I had very low expectations for that game, I had high expectations for this one. Fortunately, I can say that I was not disappointed. While the other 5pm EST game was surprisingly great, this was satisfyingly awesome. The Clark-Reese rivalry renewed and gave us some very cruel twists. The Fever initially built up a lead only for the Dream to make a quickly comeback and tie it up before the end of the quarter. Bouncing back from deficits became a theme. In the 2nd, Indiana built up a 9-point lead halfway through, their biggest lead of the game, just for Atlanta to tie up the game in less than 4 minutes. It was then Atlanta’s turn to build leads and the Fever to come back in the third quarter as well as the 4th. The Dream had a chance to win it at the buzzer only for Atlanta to miss 3 potential game winners in less than 10 seconds. Indiana took the lead in OT, but the Dream ran out of juice and fell to Mikayla Timpsom.

There was a good stretch of the fourth quarter where both teams tried to lose the game instead of win it but generally a fun one

Amazing ending, I have, as usual, nothing but praise for Caitlin and Kelsey, and in addition, what a performance we saw from Makayla freaking Timpson. 20 points, 7 rebounds, showing off with the spotlight on CC and AR. Speaking of whom, Allisha Gray really had to carry this Dream squad today.
