The Fever made it clear that they could finish games, as evidenced by their wins over Chicago, Washington and Connecticut, but they needed to find a way to keep the double-digit lead they built up. They did that. They led by as many as 24 points late in the game, allowing their starters to get some rest and showing that they’re able to maintain a lead against a solid Tempo team.
