At the half the @IndianaFever lead the @AtlantaDream 59-56 ✔️ Kelsey Mitchell: 16 PTS | 3 AST | 2 REB | 2 3PM Caitlin

What happened: Indiana leads Atlanta 59-56 at halftime, with the game still in progress. Kelsey Mitchell paces the Fever with 16 points, three assists and two made threes, while Caitlin Clark has added 15 points, four assists and three triples. Naz Hillmon and Rhyne Howard are keeping Atlanta close, combining for 27 points and eight rebounds.

Why it matters: The teams entered the day tied 1-1 in their season series, and a narrow halftime margin keeps the result wide open. Both rosters are shooting efficiently early, and the second half will decide which side takes the edge in a matchup that has already produced lopsided swings in both directions.

By the numbers: Season records: Indiana 11-7 (93.2 PPG, 86.9 allowed), Atlanta 11-5 (87.4 PPG, 81.9 allowed). Recent head-to-head: Atlanta won 108-101 on June 18; Indiana won 83-71 on June 4. First-half scoring leaders: Mitchell 16, Clark 15, Hillmon 15, Howard 12.

What to watch: Watch whether Atlanta's Howard and Hillmon can erase the three-point gap after the break, and whether Mitchell and Clark sustain their hot shooting down the stretch.
