The Indiana Fever pulled off one of their wildest comebacks of the season on Sunday, rallying from 21 points down to stun the Connecticut Sun 99-93 in overtime.
Kelsey Mitchell was unstoppable. She tied her career high with 38 points — and 34 of those came after halftime. In overtime alone, she opened with back-to-back threes and scored every point in Indiana’s 10-4 run before Lexie Hull buried a clutch corner three with 44.9 seconds left to seal it.
Odyssey Sims chipped in 19 points and seven assists, Natasha Howard added 18, and Aliyah Boston was everywhere — 14 points, 13 boards, five assists, two steals, and two blocks.
For Connecticut, Marina Mabrey scored 27 and Tina Charles had 21. Rookie Leïla Lacan set a season-high with 14 assists to go with seven points, while Saniya Rivers added 15 and swatted a career-best five shots. Aneesah Morrow contributed 10 points and 11 rebounds.
The Sun looked in full control, leading by 21 midway through the third (54-33) and still up 74-60 with just over six minutes left in regulation. But Mitchell refused to let go — hitting a three-point play with 44.7 seconds to tie it at 82. Boston’s short jumper then forced overtime after Charles briefly put Connecticut back ahead.
Indiana was missing Caitlin Clark for the 13th straight game (groin injury), and Sophie Cunningham left in the second quarter with a knee issue. Even so, the Fever kept fighting — and won.
Next up: the Sun travel to Washington on Tuesday, while the Fever host Minnesota on Friday.
