Clark's court vision generated immediate open looks beyond the arc, allowing Indiana to sprint out to a seven-point lead midway through the first quarter.
Dallas responded behind the dynamic shot-making of Ogunbowale, who scored 12 of her 31 points during a furious second-quarter run. The Wings repeatedly disrupted Indiana’s transition defense by forcing live-ball turnovers and attacking the rim in secondary transition. By halftime, Indiana held a narrow 50-47 advantage in a game characterized by rapid lead changes and high efficiency from the perimeter.
The second half turned into a tactical chess match. Indiana adjusted defensive coverages, utilizing double-teams to force the ball out of Ogunbowale’s hands late in possession. A decisive 10-2 run by the Fever in the middle of the fourth quarter, highlighted by back-to-back clutch three-pointers from Clark, ultimately proved to be the game's turning point.
