LOS ANGELES - The Indiana Fever (21-18) earned a narrow come-from-behind victory over the Los Angeles Sparks, with the 76-75 win helping to keep the team above the playoff line with five games remaining in the regular season.

Indiana found themselves trailing 31-24 at the end of the first quarter with seven points from Kelsey Mitchell and six from Aliyah Boston leading the way for the Fever. The Fever outscored the Sparks in the second quarter with six points from Boston and Odyssey Sims to make it a three-point game at the halftime break, with LA ahead 47-44.

The Fever took their first lead of the game at 6:49 in the third quarter, but the Sparks battled back, keeping it a close game with the two teams separated by just one point. The two sides battled back and forth throughout the fourth quarter, with the Fever taking a one-point lead with 13.6 seconds remaining on a clutch field goal from Sims, who was facing her former team for the first time this season. Indiana's defense would hold off the Sparks in the final seconds to seal the victory.
