In a statement victory that sent a message across the WNBA, the Indiana Fever completed their preseason campaign with a dominant win over the Atlanta Dream, powered by the electric backcourt duo of Caitlin Clark and Lexie Hull. Though Brittney Griner didn’t feature for the Dream in this matchup, the expectations were still high—but Indiana left no doubts about their firepower heading into the regular season.

Game ver 81, Dream 76

This wasn’t just a win—it was a statement. Caitlin Clark, the most anticipated rookie in WNBA history, showcased her elite court vision, range, and relentless competitiveness. From deep threes to no-look assists, Clark was in full control.

But the night arguably belonged to Lexie Hull, who had her best performance yet. Her energy on both ends of the floor was unmatched—knocking down crucial buckets, diving for loose balls, and locking down defenders. Together, Clark and Hull dismantled Atlanta’s rhythm and made the Fever’s intentions clear: they’re not just here to participate—they’re here to compete.

Caitlin Clark’s Growing Impact

Though this was only a preseason matchup, Clark’s influence is already being felt league-wide. With national attention following her every move, the WNBA is experiencing record-breaking interest. Every game she plays brings massive viewership, viral highlights, and packed arenas.

Against the Dream, Clark didn’t just light up the scoreboard—she controlled the pace, read the floor like a veteran, and absorbed contact like a pro. Even when physical defense challenged her, she responded with poise—and even drew her first career technical foul, igniting fans and teammates alike.

Lexie Hull Steps Up

While Clark draws much of the spotlight, Lexie Hull is quietly emerging as one of Indiana’s most valuable assets. Her ability to hit clutch shots and bring tenacious defense adds balance to the Fever’s rotation. In the absence of top scorers from last season, Hull’s scoring punch has filled the gap.

Indiana Fever SWEEP Preseason

With this win over Atlanta, the Fever finish the preseason undefeated. It’s a major boost for a franchise that has been rebuilding for several seasons. The chemistry between Clark, Hull, and 2023 Rookie of the Year Aliyah Boston is beginning to click—and that’s a scary sight for the rest of the league.

What’s Next?

The Fever’s regular season is about to begin, and expectations have skyrocketed. If their preseason form is any indication, they could surprise a lot of people. With Clark’s star power, Hull’s grit, and Boston’s presence in the paint, Indiana looks like a team ready to make serious noise in 2025.

One thing is clear: this isn’t the old Indiana Fever. This is a new era—and it’s being led by fearless, fiery young stars.
