Sancho Lyttle had 18 points to pace Atlanta, which has lost three of its last four. Erika DeSouza ended with 15 points and eight boards, while Angel McCoughtry added 15 points off the bench for the Dream.

It was a tight game throughout, as the Fever held a 20-18 edge after one quarter and a 39-38 advantage at halftime. The Dream went ahead 59-58 heading into the final stanza, but Indiana ran off eight consecutive points to begin the fourth to go back ahead.
