Hey! It's Cookie O'Clock! Welcome back to WNBA Dimes, where we dish out the latest buzzer-beaters and slam-dunks from around the league. I’m Brooke, your guide through all the hoops happening under the sun. Let's jump right into it!

First up, let’s talk about the Indiana Fever lighting up the court against the Atlanta Dream. Indiana snagged a solid 99-82 victory, bouncing back strong and steady. Leading the charge was Kelsey Mitchell, scoring 25 points like she was born to play ball. Now, her three 3-pointers might just have a catchphrase in the making. Let's not forget the dynamic Aliyah Boston, flirting with a triple-double thanks to her 19 points, 6 rebounds, and 8 assists. And Caitlin Clark, despite some struggles from deep, showed her game-making skills dishing out nine assists.

On the other side of the court, Jordin Canada had a career night with 30 points and six 3-pointers for the Dream. Rhyne Howard and Brittney Griner also pitched in, but it wasn’t enough against Indiana's fierce second-half surge.

Swinging over to Seattle, the Storm brewed up a storm against the Connecticut Sun, sealing a 79-65 win. Gabby Williams was the spark they needed, igniting a crucial fourth-quarter run. It’s like she had the ball on a string! Nneka Ogwumike added 16 points and was dishing assists like they were free samples. Overall, Seattle put the icing on the cake with a robust bench contribution.

Meanwhile, for the Sun, Tina Charles stood out with a big night of her own, notching 20 points and hauling in 10 rebounds. Unfortunately for Connecticut, it appears their first-half fog followed them too closely, and Seattle just clicked better when it counted.

Now, let's chat about the standings and stats shake-up. Indiana with their win slides into an even 10-10, staying competitive in that tight Eastern Conference playoff race. Seattle snapped a two-game losing streak, showcasing depth to maintain their solid position in the West.

Player of the Night? Drumroll, please... Kelsey Mitchell! Her 25-point night on superb shooting was the wind beneath the Fever's wings. She’s proving not just that she belongs, but that she leads—a definite dynamo on the court.

Now, onto some player buzz. Aari McDonald is settling right in with Indiana. Once a temporary fix, she’s now a key part of the rotation. Her defense is impressive, and her playmaking is pure artistry. She’s loving the welcoming vibe in Indy and doubling down on giving back through her AAU involvement in Sacramento.

And a quick peek ahead on the calendar: Indiana is prepping to host the Chicago Sky, aiming for some back-to-back win action, fingers crossed. Seattle will face off with the Phoenix Mercury, seeking to scoop up more wins and edge closer to the top spot in the West.

Last, but, oh, definitely not least, the WNBA All-Star Game is just around the corner, folks! July 19th in Indianapolis. Fans, get hyped to see talents like Mitchell and Williams blaze the court.
