• Ranked eighth in the WNBA in field goal percentage entering tonight’s game, Achonwa followed Dupree with 16 points and five boards on 6-of-10 shooting.

• Erica Wheeler helped spark the second-half comeback effort as she finished with 12 points, three assists and two steals in 23 minutes off the bench.

• Prior to Sunday’s game, the Fever signed free agent, seven-time WNBA All-Star and Olympic gold medalist Cappie Pondexter to a contract. She was in uniform but did not play in Sunday night’s game. Hind Ben Abdelkader was waived from the team during this transaction.
