Indiana Fever drop two straight games in tight playoff race

The Indiana Fever lost back-to-back games, falling 91-85 to the Wings and 109-102 to the Liberty during a tough five-game road trip. These losses have dropped Indiana from third to fifth place in the WNBA standings, just one game clear of New York. Coach Stephanie White emphasized the need for urgency as the playoffs approach. The Fever’s free-throw performance was poor, shooting just 11 of 22 against the Liberty. Indiana's road trip concludes with a matchup against the Chicago Sky, who recently secured wins over stronger opponents, adding to the urgency for the Fever to regroup quickly.
