As the 2025 WNBA season begins, both the defending champion New York Liberty and the Indiana Fever underscore early narratives with impressive performances. Caitlin Clark leads the Fever, scoring a triple-double, while Indiana showcases a revamped defense, improving from last season's struggles. With key defensive acquisitions, the Fever hopes to build on their strong start and replicate successful trends. Conversely, teams often fluctuate throughout the season, making early assumptions tentative in the 44-game schedule ahead. Overall, initial takeaways suggest potential shifts in team dynamics as the season progresses.
I thought we were disruptive. Any time in this league you can keep a team to under 20 points in quarters, that's important. [Chicago] didn't get a lot of clean catch-and-looks.
Indiana's defense already looked much improved in the Fever's 93-58 win over the Chicago Sky on Saturday. Adding players such as Natasha Howard, DeWanna Bonner and Sydney Colson -- all known as strong defenders -- should boost the Fever.
