NaLyssa Smith scored 23 points and grabbed 13 rebounds to help the Indiana Fever end a WNBA record-tying 20-game losing streak with a 90-87 win over the host Atlanta Dream on Sunday.
The Fever had lost 20 in a row dating back to last season to tie the Tulsa Shock for the most consecutive losses all-time. Indiana lost its final 18 games last season before dropping its first two this year.
The game featured seven ties and 20 lead changes and the outcome was hanging in the balance when the Fever had a successful coach's challenge with 16.7 seconds left while holding an 88-87 lead.
After an Indiana miss, Alyssa Gray took the long rebound quickly downcourt and drove on Kelsey Mitchell. A foul was called but Fever coach Christie Sides challenged it.
