INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Tiffany Hayes scored 10 of her career-high 28 points in the fourth quarter to help the Atlanta Dream beat the Indiana Fever 90-84 on Friday night.
Atlanta went on a 12-2 fourth-quarter run, with eight points from Matee Ajavon, to take its first lead of the second half at 77-76 with 4:52 remaining. Back-to-back steals and layups by Sydney Carter and Tiffany Hayes gave Atlanta an 81-78 lead. Layshia Clarendon answered with a jumper but Indiana did not make its next field goal until the final seconds.
