Connecticut Sun vs Indiana Fever Final Score & Over/Under Result — Aug 28, 2026

Indiana's firepower proved too much for Connecticut in a second-half shootout that sent the combined total soaring. The Fever won 111–91, a 20-point margin that belied how competitive the scoring remained throughout: both teams combined for 101 points in the first half and another 101 in the second, with the fourth quarter exploding for 57 combined points.

The Sun stayed within arm's reach early, matching Indiana's pace in Q1 with a 47-point opening quarter (Indiana 19, Connecticut 28). But the Fever seized control in Q2, outscoring Connecticut 39–15 to build separation before a sluggish third quarter (44 combined) kept the deficit manageable. Connecticut couldn't sustain any comeback bid in the fourth: Indiana's 32-point outburst overwhelmed the Sun's 25-point effort as the teams combined for their highest-scoring frame. Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell each dropped 34 points for the Fever, with Clark adding 12 assists, while Diamond Miller paced Connecticut with 19 points and Nell Angloma contributed 17 points and 7 rebounds.

The final combined score of 202 landed well over the market total of 177.5—a 24.5-point overage. This marked a sharp pivot from the pregame outlook: DAGGER leaned under pregame and missed, but the live call hit as the fourth-quarter eruption pushed both offenses beyond expectations. Indiana's balanced scoring attack and Connecticut's limited defensive answers created the kind of pace that earlier head-to-head meetings—a 123–88 Fever win (total 211) and a 75–85 contest (total 160)—had hinted was possible.
