PHOENIX -- On Wednesday, the day after her team lost its overtime track meet to Phoenix in Game 1 of the WNBA Finals, Indiana coach Lin Dunn said that's the way it's supposed to be.

"They are supposed to hold serve. You're supposed to win at home," Dunn said. "We just need to steal one."

And Thursday night, in front of 16,758 hostile partisans at the US Airways Center, the Fever did just that.

Slowing the pace, picking up the defensive pressure and getting a stellar game from Tamika Catchings, Indiana not only stole a 93-84 victory, but they stole home-court advantage in the series.
