Overview
- Indiana fell 113-96 to the Atlanta Dream on Saturday despite a team-high 26 points and seven assists from Caitlin Clark.
- The Fever committed 19 turnovers that led directly to 18 Atlanta points and surrendered 29 personal fouls that sent the Dream to the line 31 times.
- Kelsey Mitchell and Sophie Cunningham were each assessed technical fouls and are expected to receive $500 fines under WNBA rules for early-season techs.
- Coach Stephanie White publicly questioned the officiating after Cunningham's technical and said the team became 'a little disconnected' in the third quarter while Clark admitted the ball security issues start with her.
- Indiana faces a quick turnaround with a Monday game in Phoenix and must fix turnovers, reduce fouls, and regain transition offense to stop a slipping run that could cost its summer momentum.
