The Indiana Fever are heading to the West Coast with momentum on their side—thanks to a scorching performance from Kelsey Mitchell. After dropping a heartbreaker 107-104 to the Dallas Wings, Mitchell lit up the scoreboard with 30 points, proving she's ready to lead the charge.
Now, the Fever (0-1) face a tough test against the Los Angeles Sparks (0-1) in a matchup of two teams hungry for their first win of the season. Los Angeles struggled at home last year with a 9-13 record, but they still finished 21-23 overall. The Sparks were a threat from deep, averaging 25.8 three-pointers per game, and they were deadly at the line with 15.7 free-throw makes per contest.
Indiana, meanwhile, is coming off a solid 24-20 season, including an 11-11 mark on the road. The Fever's defense will need to tighten up after allowing 81.5 points per game last season, and they'll have to be smart about fouls after averaging 18.6 per game. With Mitchell heating up and the Sparks looking to bounce back on their home court, expect a high-energy battle that could come down to the wire.
For fans, this is the perfect chance to gear up in your team's colors and catch all the action as two determined squads fight for an early-season statement win.
