The Indiana Fever were on the brink of elimination when they hosted the Atlanta Dream in Game 2 of their first-round series on Tuesday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

The Fever, however, said: Not today.

They routed the Dream, 77-60, in their first home playoff game since 2016 and forced a deciding Game 3 on Thursday in Atlanta .

Kelsey Mitchell carried Indiana with 19 points, including four three-pointers, four assists, and two steals. Aliyah Boston chipped in 15 points, five rebounds, and three assists, while Natasha Howard added 12 markers and five boards.

The Fever, who lost Caitlin Clark , Sophie Cunningham , Aari McDonald, and Sydney Colson to season-ending injuries, are looking for their first series win since 2015.
