The Indiana Fever are one win (or Los Angeles Sparks loss) from clinching a berth in the WNBA playoffs after Friday's 97-77 victory over the Chicago Sky.

Los Angeles lost to Atlanta again, 104-85, dropping the Stars to 19-22 and giving the Fever a magic number of 1. New York and Seattle are playing at 10 p.m. Friday in a game that will also have an impact on the Fever's playoff positioning.
