Kelsey Mitchell’s jumper with 1.1 seconds remaining lifted the visiting Indiana Fever to a 92-90 victory over the Chicago Sky on Thursday.

Rookie Aliyah Boston led the way with 19 points and eight rebounds for the Fever (4-6), who had five players finish in double figures. NaLyssa Smith had 15 points and eight rebounds, while Victoria Vivians had 17 points, Mitchell added 15 points and five assists and Erica Wheeler finished with 10 points.

The Fever, who trailed by seven with 6:43 left, have won three of their past four games. They went 5-31 last season.

The Sky (5-6) were paced by Marina Mabrey, who had a career-high 36 points to go along with six rebounds. Dana Evans had 21 points, and Robyn Parks chipped in 13 points. Alanna Smith had eight points and 11 rebounds for Chicago, which has lost three straight.

After trailing 38-37 at halftime, the Sky closed the third quarter on a 13-7 run to take a 71-65 lead.

The Sky pushed their advantage to 74-65 on Mabrey’s jumper before the Fever went on a 17-6 run to take a 82-80 lead after NaLyssa Smith’s short jumper with 3:09 to go.

Mitchell’s layup made it a four-point game with 2:42 left before Evans’ three-point play with 2:28 to go pulled Chicago to within 84-83.

Evans’ short jumper gave the Sky an 87-86 left with 1:09 remaining before NaLyssa Smith’s layup put the Fever ahead with 51 seconds to go.

Evans’ floater with 38.1 remaining regained the lead for the Sky, but Smith’s short shot in the lane on Indiana’s next possession gave the Fever the advantage for good with 14.5 seconds left.

Evans drew a foul with 7.5 seconds remaining, but she missed her first free-throw attempt before making the second to tie the game. The Fever called timeout so they could advance the ball across midcourt.

Mitchell caught the inbounds pass along the right wing and hit a 21-foot step-back jumper that proved to be the game-winner after Alanna Smith’s 3-point try clanged off the backcourt as time expired.
