Uncasville, Conn. ? In a game of runs, the Indiana Fever had the final move.

Tamika Catchings scored 18 points and grabbed a key defensive rebound in the closing seconds, leading a rally that gave the Fever a 69-63 victory Tuesday night over the Connecticut Sun.

“They were going to make their runs, and we were, too,” Catchings said. “We came together in the huddle and said if we want to win this game we have to stick together and get the ball inside.”

The Fever (20-12), who gained home-court advantage in the first round of the WNBA playoffs, erased a seven-point deficit late in the game. It was the first victory at the Mohegan Sun arena for the Fever in their last four visits.
