INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Indiana held Connecticut to just 30 points and 34 percent shooting in the first half. Still, Fever coach Lin Dunn wasn't satisfied, urging her team to tighten its defense even more in the second.

The Fever responded by holding the Sun scoreless for nearly five minutes to start the third quarter and cruising to a 67-53 win Thursday night for a franchise-record seventh straight victory.

Dunn cited strong defense as the most consistent factor during the streak, which has given Indiana the WNBA's best record. The Fever gave up 87 and 96 points in two losses to start the season, but have allowed an average of just 64 points since.
