Minnesota Lynx claimed a 108-100 Women’s National Basketball Association victory over Indiana Fever at Target Center on Sunday, with Olivia Miles’ 28 points providing the decisive home contribution. Kelsey Mitchell produced a match-high 37 points for Indiana, but Minnesota’s greater volume of two-point baskets proved pivotal in Minneapolis.

The Lynx set the tone in an open, high-scoring first quarter, taking a 36-33 edge before extending their advantage through a 28-20 second period. That 64-53 half-time lead gave Minnesota valuable control of the match, even as the Fever continued to find efficient looks throughout the afternoon.

Indiana matched Minnesota 23-23 in the third quarter and won the fourth 24-21, but the Fever could not fully erase the damage from the second period. Both sides were exceptionally sharp from the floor: Indiana shot 57.4% and Minnesota 56.6%, while each team made 11 three-pointers and converted 11 free throws.

The difference came in opportunity and finishing volume. Minnesota made 43 field goals from 76 attempts, compared with Indiana’s 39 from 68, and secured a 33-23 rebounding advantage. The Lynx also moved the ball fluently, registering 28 assists, one more than the Fever’s 27.
