What the Indiana Fever’s loss vs Atlanta Dream means
The Fever haven’t had issues closing games lately. It was actually the opposite — the Fever blew leads, then fought back to win the game when they played Connecticut, Chicago and Washington. But closing games became an issue on Thursday night. Indiana trailed most of the game, managed to tie it up at 93 with about five minutes left in the game, then couldn’t finish.
