Atlanta actually led 43–42 after erasing a 38–29 halftime deficit, on a Hillmon three with 6:15 left in the third. Mitchell’s burst then stretched it to 58–43.
Indiana had been conceding 89 points a game before this. Referees were Amy Bonner, Kelly Broomfield and Gerda Gatling.
Game 2: Dream 108, Fever 101 — 18 June, Indianapolis
All five Atlanta starters scored in double figures.
Angel Reese posted 21 points and 11 rebounds for her tenth double-double of the season.
Top performers
Atlanta Dream
- Angel Reese — 21 points, 11 rebounds
- Jordin Canada — 18 points
- Naz Hillmon — 17 points
- Allisha Gray — 17 points
- Rhyne Howard — 16 points
Indiana Fever
- Caitlin Clark — 26 points
- Kelsey Mitchell — 26 points
- Aliyah Boston — 23 points, 8 rebounds
Mitchell became the eighth player in WNBA history to make 700 career three-pointers.
Atlanta led by 13 in the second half before Indiana’s 9–0 fourth-quarter run tied it at 93 on Sophie Cunningham’s layup with 5:07 left. Mitchell scored the first seven of that run, including her milestone three.
Atlanta then converted Indiana’s 17th turnover into a fast-break layup for a 99–95 lead with 2:08 remaining.
Two details worth noting. Reese picked up four fouls in the first half, then played the entire second half without one. And Clark debuted her Nike “Caitlin 1” signature shoes, announced the previous day — though she fouled out of contention with her fifth at 8:41 in the fourth.
Boston missed a fifth straight double-double. Records after: Atlanta 10–4, Indiana 9–6.

A Note on the Venue

Dawn Staley, the South Carolina head coach, and Hawks forward Jalen Johnson were among those in attendance.
Records after: Atlanta 11–4, Indiana 9–7.

Latest Updates on Both Teams
Neither team has played the other since June, but both have been busy.
Indiana set a franchise record of its own on 22 July, beating the Connecticut Sun 123–88 with Clark scoring 27 points and adding 11 assists, and Mitchell adding 23. The Fever also beat New York 108–88 on 18 July.
Atlanta won 111–92 at Toronto on 17 July and edged Chicago 93–91 on 19 July.
There is one situation worth watching. Clark is one technical foul away from an automatic one-game suspension after picking up her seventh of the season following an exchange with Connecticut’s Saniya Rivers. NBA commissioner Adam Silver has said Clark has become a “political football” in the wider argument about officiating and physical play in the league.
Next up: Indiana visit Seattle on 28 July and Portland on 31 July. Atlanta travel to Dallas on 29 July and host Seattle on 31 July.
Expert Analysis
The pattern across the three games is consistent. Atlanta wins when its scoring is distributed; Indiana wins when it defends.
In the opener, Indiana held the Dream to 34.3% shooting and won comfortably. In the two Atlanta wins, the Dream had five and then four players in double figures respectively.
Indiana’s problem is depth. Sports Illustrated’s analysis of the 20 June defeat noted that beyond Clark, Mitchell and Boston, only Cunningham reached double figures — and Boston’s foul trouble limited her to 22 minutes.
That top-heaviness is manageable against weaker opponents. Against a Dream side that can get 19 points from Hillmon as a fourth or fifth option, it is not.
For Atlanta, the June sweep was also a statement about the 2025 playoffs, when Indiana knocked them out.

A fourth regular-season meeting is scheduled in Atlanta and listed for ESPN and Disney+, but the date was not confirmed at publication. Check WNBA.com for the current schedule.
Why did Atlanta play at State Farm Arena?
The Dream are staging five 2026 games at State Farm Arena, home of the NBA’s Hawks, which seats far more than their regular home at Gateway Center Arena in College Park. The 20 June game drew a sell-out of 17,044.
Conclusion
Three games, two franchise-level milestones, one record crowd, and a series Atlanta now leads.
The numbers point one way. Indiana’s stars produced Clark scored 26 twice, Mitchell passed two career markers and it still was not enough, because Atlanta kept finding a fourth and fifth scorer.
The fourth meeting in Atlanta will settle the season series. On the evidence of June, Indiana needs a defensive performance closer to its 4 June effort than anything it managed afterwards.
