Dallas Wings vs Indiana Fever — Final Score

Yes. The Indiana Fever beat the Dallas Wings 98-87. Indiana had the lead most of the time during the fourth quarter, and the Wings were not able to solve anything on defense. Fever had great shooting in the game all night long, which helped them. Indiana was 53% successful when shooting the ball, while the Wings were only 43% successful. This small difference was enough to make a difference despite the great scoring night by Bueckers for the Wings. With this win, Indiana has a record of 22-12 for the season and 13-6 at home. For Dallas, it’s a record of 20-15 and 10-9 on the road. Since the two teams have played two games already this season, the season series between the two teams is now 1-1.

Caitlin Clark’s Stat Line — Was She Playing Tonight?

Indeed, Clark played, and she played plenty of minutes. She had 34 minutes in the game, ending with 29 points on 11-of-18 shooting from the field and 5-of-6 from the free-throw line. Not only did she score points, but she assisted as well, with 10 points of assists while committing just one turnover in the game. The above statistics of Clark in the recent game by the Fever against the Mercury mirror those of the win by the Fever against the Liberty in a previous match where Clark notched double figures in points and assists.

Game Timeline — How the Fever Pulled Away?

In the early going, both teams traded points because this match was a repeat of the season opener of 2026, and neither team was willing to lose an inch of ground. In fact, Dallas had a small lead in the first half, but Indiana responded with efficient shot choices and better defense.

However, the match turned around for Indiana after the second half, when the Fever opened up on three-point shots. Indiana made 38 percent of their three-point shots while Dallas made only 24 percent. Moreover, Indiana had an edge on the rebounds, which enabled the Fever to have a lead of 13 points. However, Dallas trimmed down the lead late in the match, but again due to time constraints, Dallas failed to complete the comeback, largely due to Bueckers. With a scoreline of 98-87, Indiana won the match and gained a record of 22-12 wins.
