Lexie Hull & Kelsey Mitchell AVENGE Sophie Cunningham Attack by Connecticut Sun — Indiana Fever Secures Redemption Win!

The Indiana Fever delivered more than just a win last night — they sent a message. After days of heated headlines and escalating tension, Lexie Hull and Kelsey Mitchell stepped up in a big way, leading the Fever to a thrilling victory over the Connecticut Sun in what fans are calling a fiery act of “on-court vengeance” for teammate Sophie Cunningham.

🔥 The Build-Up: Bad Blood Brewing

The matchup came on the heels of an increasingly intense stretch for the Fever, particularly surrounding the controversial treatment of Sophie Cunningham during a previous game. Cunningham, who’s known for her grit and edge, took a hard foul and alleged cheap shots from multiple Sun players in their last faceoff — a game that ended in frustration for Indiana and outrage from fans who felt the officials let too much slide.

While Cunningham sat out the rematch for precautionary reasons, her presence loomed large — and her teammates made it clear from tip-off: this game was personal.

💪 Lexie Hull Brings the Fire

Lexie Hull, often the silent workhorse of the Fever roster, erupted with one of her most aggressive performances to date. Defensively, she was relentless — diving for loose balls, bodying up in the paint, and getting into the faces of Connecticut’s top scorers. At one point, she even forced back-to-back turnovers from the Sun’s star forward, drawing loud chants from the Indiana crowd.

“We weren’t going to let what happened go unanswered,” Hull said postgame. “We play for each other — and tonight, we played for Sophie.”

🎯 Kelsey Mitchell Delivers the Knockout

While Hull set the tone with her physicality, Kelsey Mitchell brought the finesse and the finishing blows, dropping 26 points, 7 assists, and hitting two dagger threes in the final minutes to seal the win.

Mitchell, who had previously taken heat for fiery post-game comments in earlier pressers, was laser-focused on the court but didn’t shy away from emotion afterward.

“You come at one of us, you come at all of us,” she said. “We’re not just teammates — we’re sisters.”

🗣️ Fans React — “This Is the Heart of the WNBA”

Social media exploded as the game unfolded, with fans praising the Fever for sticking together and calling the win a “statement game” for the league.

“This is why we watch the WNBA,” one user wrote. “Real passion, real rivalries, real heart.”

Even Sophie Cunningham chimed in on X (formerly Twitter), posting:

“Proud of my girls. That one was for the whole squad 💪🔥 #FeverStrong”

📈 What’s Next?

With this emotional win, Indiana not only climbs in the standings but also reclaims a sense of identity: tough, united, and unapologetically bold. The next matchup between the Fever and the Sun is already being billed as must-watch drama, and if this game is any indication, the sparks aren’t dying down anytime soon.

One thing’s for sure — the Fever are no longer just a rebuilding team. They’ve found their fight — and the league has been put on notice.
