Fever Stun Mercury in High-Scoring Thriller

On Wednesday, July 30, 2025, the Indiana Fever pulled off a surprising 107-101 victory over the Phoenix Mercury in a high-scoring WNBA matchup. Despite missing star player Caitlin Clark due to a right groin injury, the Fever were led by impressive performances from Aari McDonald and Aliyah Boston.

McDonald scored a career-high 27 points, while Boston dominated the paint with 22 points and 12 rebounds for her fourth straight double-double. The Fever's balanced scoring attack also saw contributions from Chloe Bibby, Sophie Cunningham, and Damiris Dantas, who each scored in double figures.

The game was tight throughout, but the Fever pulled away in the fourth quarter, with Boston scoring 14 straight points to give Indiana an 88-79 lead. The Fever's 10th 3-pointer of the night, from Bibby, and a 4-point play from Cunningham helped seal the victory for the home team.

The loss was the fourth in the last five games for the Phoenix Mercury, who were led by Alyssa Thomas' impressive stat line of 32 points, 15 rebounds, and 7 assists. Kahleah Copper and Sami Whitcomb also scored in double figures for the Mercury.

The win improved the Fever's record to 15-12 on the season, as they continue to thrive without their star player Caitlin Clark. The Fever's depth and balanced scoring attack proved too much for the struggling Mercury to overcome on this night.
