Minnesota Lynx vs Indiana Fever: Live Score, Highlights & How to Watch Tonight’s Must-See WNBA Clash

Indiana Fever stun Western powerhouse Minnesota Lynx 83-72 in Indianapolis on Tuesday night, tightening the Eastern Conference playoff race and ending the Lynx’s four-game winning streak. Indiana raced to a 53-26 halftime cushion behind rookie sensation Caitlin Clark’s playmaking and Aliyah Boston’s dominance in the paint, shooting 55 percent from the field and doubling Minnesota on the glass before the break. Boston’s early 13-point, 6-rebound burst set the tone, while Clark piled up five first-half assists, repeatedly feeding Kelsey Mitchell and Raven Johnson in transition. Minnesota never recovered after star guard Olivia Miles was a late scratch with a calf injury, forcing coach Cheryl Reeve to shuffle her rotation and lean on Napheesa Collier for offense. Collier’s nine first-quarter points kept the Lynx close early, but a 27-2 Fever run bridging the first and second periods blew the game open. Key takeaways for fans searching “Lynx vs Fever highlights” and “Fever vs Lynx box score”: • Indiana shot a season-best 88 percent at the line and forced 10 Lynx turnovers, converting most into fast-break buckets. • Boston finished as game-high scorer, while Mitchell added double-figure points on 42 percent three-point shooting. • Minnesota’s bench mustered just eight points, underscoring Miles’ absence and the team’s thin guard depth. Playoff implications: the Fever (28-15) move within one game of first-place Atlanta in the East, while the Lynx (32-11) still cling to the West’s top seed but now lead Golden State by a single loss. What’s next: Indiana heads to New York on Friday for a showdown with Breanna Stewart and the Liberty, a potential first-round preview, while Minnesota returns home to host the Las Vegas Aces on Saturday—a critical test of the Lynx’s title credentials.
