The Fever were missing All-Star guard Caitlin Clark, but Sophie Cunningham was on her game to will the team to victory.
Natasha Howard had 16 points, 12 rebounds, and four assists on Tuesday night as the Indiana Fever defeated the Minnesota Lynx 74-59 in the WNBA Commissioner’s Cup final.
Cunningham scored 13 points while Aliyah Boston, Aari McDonald, and Kelsey Mitchell each scored 12 points.
Minnesota had its worst offensive performance of the season, shooting 34.9% from the floor, which is a testament to how the Fever’s defense was playing.
Caitlin Clark, who has been sidelined since June 24 with a strained groin, cheered on the squad as they overcame an early 13-point deficit with balanced scoring and a stout defensive performance against the team with the best record in the league.
When Minnesota rallied to cut their deficit to 60-51 midway through the fourth quarter, Sophie Cunningham buried her third 3-pointer of the night to silence the crowd and send the Fever on their way.
It was the biggest moment of the game.
Following the contest, it was time for the ladies to party in the locker room.
With thousands of people watching on Instagram live, Sophie Cunningham decided to show off hr twerking skills as she bent down and started shaking her booty in the camera.

Indiana Fever forward Sophie Cunningham offered an interesting take Tuesday on the cities the WNBA selected for its three expansion franchises.
Following Monday’s announcement about Cleveland, Philadelphia, and Detroit, she suggested other cities she believes are worthy of being awarded a WNBA franchise.
“I also think that you want to listen to your players, too,” Cunningham said.
“Where do they want to play? Where are they gonna get excited to play and draw fans? I do think that Miami would have been a great [location]. Everyone loves Florida.
Nashville is an amazing city. Kansas City, amazing opportunity. There’s a huge arena downtown that no one’s using,” Cunningham continued, adding that the NWSL’s Current — co-owned by Chiefs quarterback and Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany — draws fans to Kansas City.
“I’m not so sure what the thought process is there, but at the end of the day, you want to make sure that you’re not expanding our league too fast. I think that’s also another thing. It’s kind of a hard decision-making situation. But man, I don’t know how excited people are to be going to Detroit or [Cleveland].”
The WNBA is expanding to Cleveland in 2028, followed by Detroit in 2029 and Philadelphia in 2030, bringing the league to 18 teams.
