The Indiana Fever may have pulled off their biggest upset in a long time in the WNBA Playoffs. Under the guidance of Stephanie White, and against all odds, they went on the road and took down the Atlanta Dream. On the near horizon now are the Aces — and it won’t be an easy task, of course, especially since the team will have to continue without Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham on the court.
Once the big win was in the books and emotions had slightly settled, Cunningham spoke on the Show Me Something podcast, reflecting on her team’s heroic performance — and slipping in an interesting shot at the league in the process.
“The League is so mad that we won, because we are literally not supposed to be here at all, and that just fuels our fire even more,” she said.
What prompted her words, in particular? Well, heading into this intriguing matchup, many believed the Dream were the clear favorites to advance to the semifinals — something that ultimately didn’t happen.
A tough series ahead
The Indiana Fever‘s improbable playoff run continues, with the gritty team now facing their biggest test yet: a best-of-five WNBA semifinals series against the Las Vegas Aces.
