Match Info

Indiana Fever 86 – 77 Phoenix Mercury: Fever Dominate at Home in WNBA Clash

The Indiana Fever showcased their championship credentials on June 23, 2026, securing a convincing 86–77 victory over the Phoenix Mercury at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The win improved the Fever’s home record and consolidated their position near the top of the WNBA standings.

Match Overview

From the opening tip, Indiana controlled the tempo, building a double-digit lead by halftime. The Mercury fought back in the third quarter, trimming the deficit to just five points, but the Fever’s balanced scoring and stout defense in the final period sealed the result. Indiana shot 48% from the field and held Phoenix to just 32% from three-point range.

Key Performers

Caitlin Clark (Indiana Fever): The superstar guard delivered a masterclass with 28 points, 9 assists, and 6 rebounds, including four three-pointers in the second quarter that ignited the crowd.
Aliyah Boston (Indiana Fever): Boston dominated the paint with 18 points and 12 rebounds, recording her 14th double-double of the season.
Brittney Griner (Phoenix Mercury): Griner put up 22 points and 10 boards, but struggled with foul trouble in the second half, limiting her impact.

Turning Point

With Phoenix trailing 68–63 early in the fourth quarter, a steal by Fever guard Kelsey Mitchell led to a fast-break layup by Clark. The sequence sparked a 10–2 run that put the game out of reach. The Mercury never got closer than eight points the rest of the way.

Standings Impact

The win moved Indiana to 14–4 on the season, keeping pace with the New York Liberty atop the Eastern Conference. Phoenix fell to 9–9, still in playoff position but now looking up at a surging Fever team that has won six of its last seven games.

Indiana’s depth was on full display: three other players scored in double figures, including NaLyssa Smith (14 points) and Erica Wheeler (11 points, 5 assists). The Fever next host the Las Vegas Aces on June 25.

“We knew Phoenix would make a run, but we stayed composed and executed down the stretch,” said Fever head coach Christie Sides after the game. “This is a big win for us.”

For the Mercury, adjustments on defensive rotations will be paramount as they prepare for a home matchup against the Seattle Storm on Friday.
