The Indiana Fever can no longer be taken lightly.
The Fever snapped their 20-game losing streak by defeating Atlanta on May 28 and have since dropped two competitive contests, a three-point road loss to the Connecticut Sun and a four-point defeat to defending champion Las Vegas Aces.
Indiana (1-4) will make its third attempt for a second victory when it visits the Chicago Sky on Tuesday.
The Fever led the Aces by 10 points early in the fourth quarter and were still up by five with less than three minutes remaining but couldn’t hold off Las Vegas’ late charge.
Kelsey Mitchell led Indiana with 22 points and Erica Wheeler had a season-high 15.
Fever top draft pick Aliyah Boston got into foul trouble and was held to seven points after averaging 15.8 points in her first four games.
Chicago (4-3) rallied from 19 points down in the second half to defeat New York 86-82 on Sunday. The Sky avenged a one-point loss to the Liberty two nights earlier.
Kahleah Copper led the surge with 27 points and Courtney Williams scored 10 of her 12 points in the fourth quarter.
Copper, who averages a team-high 17.1 points, also had seven rebounds and three assists, following up a 20-point, nine-rebound effort on Friday.
The Sky had a 2-1 record against the Fever last season.
