fever vs dream, Kelsey Mitchell remains in shape and avoids a nightmare fall

The Indiana Fever eeked out a victory over the Atlanta Dream, 84-79, Monday night for their 14th win of the season — their highest number of wins since 2016, Tamika Catchings' final season and Indiana's last trip to the postseason.

The Dream (10-19) didn't make it easy, though. The Fever nearly blew a 14-point lead, with the Dream getting within two points at the 3-minute mark of the fourth quarter. But ill-timed fouls by Atlanta kept Indiana in front, allowing the Fever just enough breathing room in the final minutes.
