Caitlin Clark missed her fifth straight game and Sophie Cunningham also sat with injury and the Fever lost 77-58 to the Dream on Tuesday.

The Indiana Fever have a horrid second half against the Atlanta Dream, who lead the season series between the teams 2-1.

They got down a little bit in the first quarter, struggling against Atlanta’s physicality at times, but always found a way to charge back into contention. Fever guard Aari McDonald was able to find a lane and get shots off, scoring nine points in 12 minutes off the bench in the first half.

The two teams were tied going into a halftime, but a strong third quarter from the Dream allowed them to pull away in the second half.
