The Indiana Fever are still alive. In one of the best games of the season, they blew a huge lead before pulling off an incredible comeback in the final minutes on Sunday afternoon to salvage an 83-80 win over the Atlanta Dream. Their third consecutive win gave them their longest winning streak since 2021 and staved off playoff elimination.
