However, Chicago stormed back into contention with a ferocious 14-2 run before the interval.

The momentum continued into the third quarter as the visitors took their first lead of the contest.

Regulation ended in chaotic fashion when Skylar Diggins drained a deep three-pointer to tie the game at 98 following a costly Indiana turnover on an inbounds pass.

Clinical free-throw shooting seals victory

The Fever immediately re-established their authority in the additional period through crucial scores from Boston and Kelsey Mitchell.

Sydney Taylor, who paced Chicago with a stellar 30-point performance, briefly reduced the deficit to three points in the final moments.

The hosts ultimately iced the game from the free-throw line, finishing an incredible 23 of 24 on their foul shots.

Clark was particularly ruthless at the line, making all 15 of her attempts on the night.

The result improves Indiana’s season record to seven wins and five losses, while Chicago drops to 4-9 following the gruelling overtime defeat.
