LET'S GO TIFF 😤 Tiffany Hayes gets the bucket + the foul to increase the Valks lead to 79-65! GSV-IND | USA Network Ta Via @WNBA on X

What happened: Golden State closed out Indiana 88-75, with Tiffany Hayes drawing a bucket-and-foul during a late run that pushed the margin past 10. Kelsey Mitchell led all scorers with 20 points, 1 rebound and 4 assists for the Fever. Aliyah Boston added 15 points and 7 rebounds, and Gabby Williams scored 16 for Golden State.

Why it matters: The win keeps Golden State's recent surge going after last week's franchise-record streak win over Connecticut. Indiana continues to slide, unable to turn Mitchell's scoring night or Boston's double-double effort into a result.

By the numbers: Kelsey Mitchell: 20 PTS, 1 REB, 4 AST. Gabby Williams: 16 PTS, 3 REB, 1 AST. Aliyah Boston: 15 PTS, 7 REB, 1 AST.

What to watch: Golden State looks to keep its momentum going into the next stretch of the schedule, while Indiana looks to snap its skid before the All-Star break.
