Coach Stephanie White of the Indiana Fever expressed frustration after a 98-87 loss to the Los Angeles Sparks on July 5. Despite holding a late lead, the Fever collapsed under pressure. White attributed the defeat to a lack of discipline on defense and poor execution of screens.
The recent loss marks the second time this season the Fever have fallen behind the Sparks in the fourth quarter, both times without star guard Caitlin Clark due to injury. The coach’s comments highlighted the need for better concentration and physical commitment under pressure.
With the Fever at a 99-50 record and third place in the Eastern Conference, their performance remains inconsistent despite adjustments to their roster throughout the season. White’s return as head coach signals a focus on long-term development, but Friday’s loss shows that growth and obstacles are still present.
