What Indiana Fever’s win over Seattle Storm means
After two losses in three games in which the Fever scored more than 100 points to start the season, it felt like the Fever needed a reset. And this is what this game was. The Fever, even without Boston, were able to put together a relatively strong defensive game (taking with a grain of salt as the Storm were missing Malonga and Magbegor), outrebounding the Storm 46-32 while coasting to a win at the end of the fourth quarter.
