The Indiana Fever had been stacking wins, protecting home court and building momentum with the first third of the season behind them.

That run ended Thursday night.

The Fever’s four-game win streak came to an end in a high-scoring loss, 108-101, to the Atlanta Dream, a game that again exposed the defensive issues that have followed them in defeat.

The Fever (9-6) have now allowed 100-plus points in four of their six losses this season.
