Minnesota Lynx vs Indiana Fever Final Score & Over/Under Result — Sep 22, 2026

Indiana dominated Minnesota 96–77, a 19-point victory that left the scoreboard well shy of expectations. The combined 173 points settled 12.5 points under the 185.5 market total, as a fast start gave way to a grinding second half that neither offense could sustain.

The Fever and Lynx traded blows early, combining for 47 points in the opening quarter before matching that pace in Q2 with 44 combined. Indiana's depth showed through Caitlin Clark's 27 points, 7 rebounds, and 9 assists, plus Kelsey Mitchell's 20 points, while Aliyah Boston added 17 points and 7 boards. Minnesota's Chloe Bibby led the Lynx with 15 points, and Aari McDonald chipped in 10 points and 5 assists, but the offensive firepower wasn't there. The third quarter proved pivotal: despite Minnesota scoring 30 combined points in Q3—their highest single-quarter output—Indiana kept pace with 14, keeping the game firmly in the Fever's grasp. The fourth quarter sealed it, with both teams combining for just 38 points, a sharp drop that reflected depleted rhythm and tightened defenses down the stretch. For context, this matchup played much slower than their previous head-to-head meeting this season, when these teams combined for 208 points. DAGGER leaned over, and it missed.
