The Indiana Fever defeated the Los Angeles Sparks 111-87 on Sunday, marking a notable defensive lapse for the Sparks who allowed more than 110 points in consecutive WNBA games for the first time in franchise history. The match took place in Indiana, where the Fever improved their record to 11-8.

Indiana’s offense was led by Kelsey Mitchell, who scored 26 points despite the absence of fellow top scorer Caitlin Clark, who missed the game due to a back injury. The Fever capitalized on the Sparks’ weakened lineup, as Los Angeles was without Kelsey Plum, sidelined long-term with a left leg injury.

For the Sparks, Nneka Ogwumike contributed 17 points and seven rebounds, while Dearica Hamby added 15 points. However, their efforts were not enough to contend with the Fever’s offensive onslaught. Los Angeles’ defense struggled throughout the game, allowing an unusually high point total that reflected a broader pattern of defensive challenges this season.

The loss drops the Sparks to 8-10, highlighting continued difficulties as they navigate key player absences. Indiana’s victory further solidifies their position above .500 and demonstrates their ability to maintain offensive production despite missing Clark. The Fever’s balanced attack and effective scoring played a central role in handing the Sparks a decisive defeat.
