The decisive moment

Indiana defeated Seattle 110-107 on Friday, securing a narrow home victory in one of the highest-scoring contests possible without overtime. With only three points separating the teams at the final buzzer, the Fever’s 110th point proved every bit as important as their first.

The one-possession margin left virtually no room for error. Indiana did just enough to withstand a Seattle attack that reached 107 points on the road, turning a game of sustained offensive pressure into a valuable 2026 WNBA Regular Season win.

By the numbers

  • Indiana won 110-107.
  • The final margin was three points, equivalent to one 3-point field goal.
  • The teams combined for 217 points.
  • Both clubs surpassed 100 points.
  • Seattle scored 107 points in a road defeat.
  • Indiana accounted for 110 of the game’s 217 total points.

The final score reflects how little separated the teams. Seattle generated enough offense to win on many nights, but Indiana matched that production and found the additional possession’s worth of scoring required to finish ahead.

The Fever achieved the result without Aliyah Boston, who was out with a leg injury. Seattle was missing Ezi Magbegor because of a facial injury, while Taina Mair was unavailable because of a coach’s decision.

What it means

For Indiana, the victory adds an important result to its regular-season ledger and demonstrates an ability to navigate a close, high-scoring game without Boston. Winning by three also underscores the value of execution across all four quarters when nearly every basket can affect the outcome.

Seattle leaves with a frustrating defeat but also clear evidence that its offense can travel and keep pace in a demanding environment. The Storm’s immediate challenge is converting that level of scoring into wins by finding the small defensive or possession-based advantages that decide games this close.

The result could matter in a competitive standings race, where narrow victories count exactly as much as comfortable ones. Indiana collected the win; Seattle must absorb the loss while preserving the offensive qualities that kept the game within one possession.

What to watch next

Attention now shifts to how both teams recover from a taxing 217-point contest before their next 2026 WNBA Regular Season assignments. Boston’s status will be an important storyline for Indiana, while Seattle will monitor Magbegor’s availability and look for ways to turn another strong scoring performance into a complete result.

For the Fever, the priority is carrying their late-game composure forward. For the Storm, the focus will be on tightening the margins after an effort that came only three points short.
