Angel Reese scored 18 points with 8 rebounds, while Rhyne Howard tallied 24 points to lead the Atlanta Dream to their second win over the Indiana Fever in three days, earning a 113-96 victory at State Farm Arena on Saturday.
Indiana and Atlanta played the second end of a home-and-home series, with the Dream winning the first matchup on Thursday, 108-101.
The Dream took control of the game in the third quarter, outscoring Indiana 28-15 to take a 10-point lead. The Fever couldn’t cut the deficit below double-digits through the final 10 minutes with a defense that had no answer for Atlanta.
Indiana only held a 59-56 lead at halftime despite shooting 61% from the floor and 60% on 3-pointers. Two of those 3s came from Mitchell, who had 16 points at the half, with three more coming from Clark as she scored 15 points in the game’s first 20 minutes.
Atlanta trailed by 11 points midway through the second quarter, but cut the deficit to three at the break despite shooting 45% (but 50% on 3s). Howard was 3-for-10 from the floor, while Reese shot 3-for-8. Hillmon was the Dream’s leading first-half scorer with 15 points.
Coming out of the half, Indiana extended its lead to five points before Atlanta went on a 6-0 run to take its first lead since the first quarter. The Dream extended that run to 13-0, with 6 points scored by Reese, to take a 73-65 lead on a 3-pointer from Howard.
Indiana briefly stalled Atlanta’s onslaught with two Boston free throws and a layup from Clark, but the Dream scored another six points to take an 84-74 lead into the fourth quarter. That margin increased to 13 points on another 3 from Howard.
