INDIANAPOLIS (WRTV) -- The Fever might have played its most complete game of the season on Tuesday night.

Inside Gainbridge Fieldhouse, the Fever took down the Toronto Tempo, 113-91, and are now riding the longest winning streak of the season.

Indiana picked up its fourth straight win on Tuesday, thanks in large part to Sophie Cunningham and Kelsey Mitchell's red-hot shooting performances.

The two combined for 51 points and shot a combined 77 percent from the field.

Cunningham finished Tuesday's game with 24 points while shooting 6-7 from three. Cunningham finished with a season high in points and made threes on Tuesday, and has played a major role in each of the Fever's last two wins.

"That was the first time all year that we didn't let someone come back, and I think in the first half, we had too many turnovers," Cunningham said. "Missed too many layups and they are a great-great team, but, again, we have to focus on us, and I think everyone around the league - especially our fans, they're seeing the growth we're starting to get better and we're starting to value the ball more, share the ball more and pick up defensively. I think in the second half, we really came out strong and put the pedal to the metal."

9th-year Fever guard, Kelsey Mitchell, hardly missed as she went 9-11 from the field and finished with 27 points. Mitchell led all scorers.

Caitlin Clark also filled up the stat sheet. The third-year Fever guard ended with 21 points and a season-high 14 assists. Aliyah Boston also pitched in a double-double.

As a team, Indiana outrebounded Toronto 43-27. The Fever's offense also dished out a collective 25 assists on Tuesday.

The only knock against the Fever was the team's 16 turnovers.

Despite the double-digit loss, Toronto still shot the ball pretty well. The Tempo knocked down 11 threes and shot 44 percent from beyond the arc as a team. Toronto also had six players finish in double-figures.

With the win, Indiana improves to 9-5 on the season and looks ahead to a home matchup against the Atlanta Dream this Thursday, June 18th.

Indiana has now scored more than 100 points in four games this season.
