The Indiana Fever’s 95-91 overtime win over the host Atlanta Dream on Sunday is now the most-watched WNBA game on cable in the league’s 30-season history, per WNBA Communications, which provided the pertinent information.<\/p>\n
This was an epic game between two playoff contenders featuring plenty of star power, to say the least. Each team features three All-Stars, with Indiana having Caitlin Clark, Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston, and Atlanta having Allisha Gray, Rhyne Howard and Angel Reese.<\/p>\n
The Fever were down eight points in the fourth quarter but tied the game at 81 after Mitchell hit a three-pointer with just over a minute left in regulation.<\/p>\n
In overtime, Indiana forward Makayla Timpson scored six straight points, and Caitlin Clark hit two clutch free throws with 11 seconds left to help give the Fever the win.<\/p>\n
Dream guard Allisha Gray led all scorers with 32 points. Clark scored 26 to go along with nine assists, while Mitchell and Timpson added 20 points apiece for the Fever.<\/p>\n
For Atlanta, Reese had a 15-point, 14-rebound, six-assist outing, while Howard scored 17 points.<\/p>\n
If the season ended today, the fourth-seeded Fever (23-12) would play the fifth-seeded Dream (21-13). They’ll both assuredly make the playoffs at this point, with the only formalities being their seedings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Indiana Fever’s 95-91 overtime win over the host Atlanta Dream on Sunday is now the most-watched WNBA…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":863194,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[629],"tags":[49,48,82,630],"class_list":["post-863193","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-wnba","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports","tag-wnba"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/863193","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=863193"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/863193\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/863194"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=863193"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=863193"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=863193"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
