WNBA Playoff Race: Can the Indiana Fever’s Defense Hold Up? | Fever, Dream & Liberty Breakdown

The WNBA playoff race is heating up, and the Indiana Fever, Atlanta Dream and New York Liberty are all fighting for the best possible path to the championship.

The Fever have proven they can score with anyone, but can their defense become consistent enough to survive four rounds of playoff basketball?
