Game Recap
Indiana's recent offensive pace—averaging 88.0 points per game over its last ten—suggested a measured affair, but the Fever and Valkyries had other plans. The combined 172 points sailed past the market total of 167.5, landing 4.5 points OVER as both teams traded buckets in a second half that proved decisive. DAGGER's pregame UNDER call missed the mark.
The opening half settled at 81 combined points, well within a tighter rhythm, but Indiana and Golden State accelerated sharply after intermission. The third quarter erupted for 46 combined points—the game's highest-scoring frame—pushing the second half to 91 total points and setting the tone for the final margin. Caitlin Clark orchestrated Indiana's offense with 22 points and 9 assists, while Aliyah Boston dominated the glass with 20 points and 16 rebounds. For Golden State, Tiffany Hayes led with 19 points, complemented by Kaitlyn Chen's 18 points and Veronica Burton's 17 points and 3 assists, but the depth wasn't enough to offset Boston's interior presence. Indiana pulled away in the closing frame, holding Golden State to 21 points in the fourth while adding 24 of its own, securing the 90–82 win despite the Valkyries' second-half surge.
