FLM – Caitlin Clark recorded her franchise-record 14th double-double of the year with 26 points and 12 assists to lead the Indiana Fever to a dramatic 104-100 comeback win in overtime on Sunday over the visiting Atlanta Dream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aliyah Boston scored off an inside move with 1:03 left in overtime to give Indiana a 100-98 lead and the Fever (19-17) held on from there. Boston dominated with a career-high 30 points as well as 13 rebounds as the Fever won for the sixth time in seven games. They are 8-2 since the All-Star\/Olympics break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kelsey Mitchell added 21 and Lexie Hull scored 12, all from the 3-point line to help lead the Fever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dream lost despite a 36-point effort by Rhyne Howard, who missed a shot in the final minute that would have tied the game for the 13th time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Atlanta (12-23) had a balanced attack in defeat. Tina Charles scored 17 points, and Allisha Gray and Jordin Canada each finished with 15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Howard made two free throws with 27 seconds remaining in regulation to give Atlanta a 90-88 edge, but Boston tied the score on a layup with 18 seconds left and the game went to overtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clark sank two free throws with 23 seconds remaining in OT for a 102-98 lead for the Fever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Atlanta opened up the second half on an 8-0 run, with Howard drilling a 3-pointer from up top as the Dream took their first double-digit lead of the day at 56-44 lead with 9:02 left in the third quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dream led 64-48 with under seven minutes to play in the third and appeared in control until the Fever put together a furious comeback attempt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clark drilled an off-balance 3-pointer in the corner to start the fourth, tying the game at 69 with 9:45 to play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dream were ahead 84-75 with 5:58 left in regulation after a tip-in by Gray, but the Fever didn\u2019t back down and managed to force OT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indiana was up 22-21 after one but struggled with ball security in the first half, turning the ball over 13 times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Howard turned one of those into a layup and a 36-30 lead at the 5:13 mark of the second quarter, forcing the Fever to call a timeout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hull\u2019s 3-point shooting kept Indiana in the game as she hit three shots from distance in the opening half, her last cutting the Atlanta advantage to 39-38 with 3:55 left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canada\u2019s jumper in the final seconds of the second quarter gave Atlanta a 48-44 lead at halftime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
