The Indiana Fever have won four of their six games and are on a three-game winning streak. Veteran guard Sophie Cunningham believes the team has the talent to become one of the strongest in the WNBA — if they improve in one key area.
The Fever have attracted major attention this season because of their talented squad led by Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston, and guard Sophie Cunningham. Indiana has shown flashes of dominance during the early part of the campaign, but Cunningham said that consistency remains a key factor for success.
Speaking about the team’s performances on "Show Me Something", Cunningham stressed that defensive discipline and limiting mistakes will decide how far the Fever can go this season. She explained that the group already has enough talent to compete with any side in the league.
“When it comes to our defense, I think that is an area that we have great potential in, but we have to want to be a great defensive team,” Cunningham said.
“If four people are doing it and that one person isn’t, it’s going to mess up our schemes every single time. And so it’s just like making sure everyone’s looking themselves in the mirror,” she added.
However, she also said that the Fever still need to improve in “the little things” if they want to reach another level.
