INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana – The Indiana Fever defeated the New York Liberty 108-88 on Sunday morning, July 19, 2026, at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, securing a second consecutive win in as many days and improving their regular-season record to 16-10. Veteran guard Kelsey Mitchell delivered a dominant offensive performance, leading all scorers with 33 points on 10-of-14 shooting from the field. Rookie guard Caitlin Clark complemented Mitchell’s scoring with an all-around effort, contributing 17 points and nine assists while helping to organize the offense and steady the Fever after a slow start against their Eastern Conference rivals. New York controlled the early stages of the game, using a balanced attack and strong perimeter shooting to build a 28-22 lead after the first quarter and push the advantage to 13 points in the second period. Despite eight points each from Mitchell and Sophie Cunningham in the opening quarter, Indiana struggled defensively until late in the half, when a key adjustment helped the Fever limit the Liberty’s rhythm. Behind six points from Aliyah Boston and five more from Mitchell late in the second quarter, Indiana cut the deficit to 50-46 at halftime. The Fever then opened the third quarter with a decisive 16-2 run, holding New York to just 12 points in the period and seizing control on both ends of the floor to close out a 20-point comeback victory.
