The Indiana Fever is taking the WNBA by storm. Led by phenom rookie Caitlin Clark, the team officially skyrocketed toward contention as the league’s hottest team. From beginning the 2024 season with a horrific 1-8 record, the Fever are now turning the heads of everyone with a scintillating four-game win skid. And with a current record of 17-16, they finally snapped the league history’s longest postseason drought by making it to the playoffs for the first time since 2016.
Fever’s instant turnaround is beyond remarkable and fascinating, which reminded Nancy Lieberman of something similar on the other side of the fence of women’s basketball.

Prior to the Fever’s 100-93 victory against the Dallas Wings on Sunday, Lieberman echoed an enticing remark around the team’s sizzling rally and late season push. In the eyes of the legendary Hall of Famer, Indiana’s ongoing success and promising standing draws similarities to what the Oklahoma City Thunder have savoured from last season.
