ATLANTA – The Indiana Fever never really could find a consistent rhythm against Atlanta in Game 1 of their WNBA playoffs first-round series Sunday afternoon.
Indiana got off to a hot start, outscoring Atlanta 15-6 in the first five minutes of the game. And they had spurts at times, including a 7-0 run to start the third quarter, but they couldn’t maintain that kind of scoring consistently, leading to an 80-68 loss that put the Fever on the brink of elimination from the playoffs.
