“This Is LEGENDARY!” Caitlin Clark and Lexie Hull STUN Seattle Storm With 4th-Quarter EXPLOSION — BFF Duo Leaves Crowd GASPING in Shock as Fever Pulls Off EPIC Comeback Victory in Final Seconds!

Indiana Fever Shock the WNBA with Explosive Fourth Quarter Win Over Seattle Storm

The Indiana Fever delivered a performance for the ages, dismantling the Seattle Storm 92-75, thanks to a stunning 33-17 fourth-quarter run that turned a tightly contested battle into an emphatic statement victory. With this win, the Fever proved they are no longer just a rebuilding team—they’re a rising force to be reckoned with in the WNBA.

A Tale of Two Games

The first three quarters were a classic tug-of-war. Both teams traded baskets, defensive stops, and momentum swings. Entering the fourth, the Fever held a razor-thin 59-58 lead. The Seattle Storm had applied solid defensive pressure, especially against Caitlin Clark, using hedges on screens and anticipating plays to keep Indiana from getting into rhythm.

Seattle’s defensive intensity was commendable, but their offense failed to capitalize. Missed opportunities kept Indiana close, and the Fever stayed within striking distance, just waiting for their moment.

Lexie Hull Ignites the Comeback

Head coach Christie Sides made a pivotal decision heading into the fourth quarter: she benched struggling starters NaLyssa Smith and Katie Lou Samuelson in favor of Lexie Hull and Damiris Dantas. The impact was immediate and electric.

Caitlin Clark opened the quarter with a determined drive and finish at the rim. The crowd came alive. On the next possession, Lexie Hull drained a three from the top of the key, courtesy of a dazzling cross-court assist from Clark. It was the spark the Fever needed.

Moments later, Hull struck again—this time from the corner, off a crisp pass from Aaliyah Boston. Her third triple came soon after. Suddenly, a one-point edge ballooned to a six-point lead, and Seattle never recovered.

The Stars Shine Bright

Lexie Hull, averaging just 3.7 points per game this season, erupted for 22 points, going 6-of-7 from three-point range and 8-of-10 overall. It was a career-defining night for the Stanford alum, who also played tough defense and grabbed critical rebounds. Hull’s explosion was unexpected but exhilarating—a reminder of the depth Indiana can summon when needed.

Kelsey Mitchell was equally lethal, dropping 27 points while connecting on five of eight shots from beyond the arc. She was aggressive, assertive, and efficient, especially after an early missed layup seemed to fire her up.

Caitlin Clark continued her strong rookie campaign with 23 points, nine assists, five rebounds, and two blocks. Her court vision and ability to find the open shooter—particularly in the fourth—were masterclass. Yes, she picked up her fifth technical foul of the season for showing frustration after a teammate’s foul, but her poise and leadership on the court were undeniable.

Aaliyah Boston was the unsung hero. While she scored only nine points, she dominated the glass with 15 rebounds and dished out a career-high eight assists. Her composure in the post and unselfish play helped orchestrate Indiana’s offensive explosion.

Strategic Brilliance from Coach Christie Sides

Much credit goes to Christie Sides for her bold substitutions and tactical adjustments. Recognizing Smith and Samuelson’s lack of impact, Sides turned to her bench—and they delivered in dramatic fashion. Dantas, while not flashy, chipped in eight points and provided solid defense and movement.

Sides’ ability to read the game, recognize mismatches, and empower the right players at the right time was the difference-maker. Her trust in Hull and Dantas paid off massively.

Seattle’s Collapse

For the Storm, it was a stunning unraveling. After three solid quarters, their offense sputtered, managing just 17 points in the final frame. Jewell Loyd scored 26, but she couldn’t carry the team alone. Skylar Diggins-Smith added 15, but inconsistency plagued her. Nneka Ogwumike and Ezi Magbegor were largely quiet offensively.

Magbegor did register five blocks and continued her campaign for Defensive Player of the Year, but the Storm’s inability to score in the fourth proved fatal. By the time they called a timeout to regroup, Indiana had found its rhythm and never looked back.

Unwritten Rules and Coaching Friction

The game ended with a bit of tension between the coaches. Storm coach Noelle Quinn was visibly upset that Indiana left their starters in during the final minute despite holding a big lead. Sides later pulled her starters, but the moment caused a sideline stir—an example of the unwritten etiquette that governs blowout scenarios.

The Road Ahead

With this win, Indiana sent a message: they’re no longer just developing—they’re dangerous. The fourth-quarter surge was powered by role players rising to the occasion, strategic coaching, and unwavering belief. The Fever showed resilience, chemistry, and a killer instinct when it mattered most.

Lexie Hull, Caitlin Clark, Kelsey Mitchell, and Aaliyah Boston gave fans a game to remember, and perhaps a glimpse of what this young team can become.

If they can build on this momentum, watch out—the Indiana Fever might just be heating up for a playoff run.
