Fever Overcome Halftime Deficit for First Win of 2024 Regular Season
Indiana Fever earn first win of the season with a 79-71 victory over the Los Angeles Sparks
Caitlin Clark's game-winning three-pointer lifts Fever to victory
The Indiana Fever overcame a 10-point halftime deficit to defeat the Los Angeles Sparks 79-71 on Friday night, earning their first win of the 2024 regular season.
Fever forward Caitlin Clark led the way with 22 points, including a game-winning three-pointer with just over two minutes remaining. Center Emily Engstler added 18 points and 12 rebounds, while guard Victoria Vivians chipped in with 17 points.
The Fever trailed 39-29 at halftime, but they came out strong in the second half, outscoring the Sparks 25-13 in the third quarter. They continued to chip away at the lead in the fourth quarter, eventually taking the lead for good on Clark's three-pointer.
The win is a much-needed one for the Fever, who have struggled to start the season. They are now 1-4 on the year, but they will look to build on this victory when they face the New York Liberty on Sunday.
Conclusion
The Fever's first win of the season is a testament to their resilience and determination. They never gave up, even when they were down by 10 points at halftime. This win will give them confidence moving forward, and it will be interesting to see how they perform the rest of the season.
