Having lost 80-68 at the Gateway Center in Game 1, the Fever leveled the series with a 77-60 win at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Tuesday. Indiana, which dealt with injuries during the season, was expected to lose against the Dream, but pulled off an upset, securing a narrow two-point victory over them.

The Fever were led by their stalwart Kelsey Mitchell during the series, with the All-Star averaging 23.3 points per game. On Thursday, Mitchell led the team once again, recording 24 points and two rebounds, while Aliyah Boston chipped in with a double-double, scoring 14 points and 12 rebounds.

Guard Kelsey Mitchell offered her views on their performance during a post-game interview with ESPN.

"It got ugly. It got mucky. We knew Atlanta was going to be aggressive," she said. "It's a resilient group. We seen the worst of the worst, the lowest of the low. And right now, it's about making sure that we make plays and be there for each other." (TS- 0:11 onwards)

Despite battling injuries all season, the Fever won the Commissioner's Cup in July and continue to make a strong, memorable impact in the postseason.
