The Indiana Fever needed a win at home, and players delivered big on the night. NBA and Indiana’s basketball star Tyrese Haliburton hyped up the crowd during the game, and fans got ‘the treat’ with every play. HC Stephanie white was also pumped up, as her moment with Aerial Powers went viral.
The guard was celebrating the crucial basket with her teammates, and as she reached the 48-year-old coach, they went for a chest bump. Head Coach’s mixed reaction caught the eyes of General Manager Amber Cox, who also reacted to the moment.

The Indiana Fever players and fans are the most hyped-up group in the league at the moment. Many doubted the team’s possible early end of the season, but they survived every challenge. In the second game against the Atlanta Dream, it was a similar situation, as many counted the Fever team out following the loss in the first game.
But the home team controlled the game from start to end, and everyone was in a joyous mood. Caitlin Clark and other players on the bench also cheered every offensive and defensive play to show their support. Aerial Powers and Stephanie White’s moment went viral, as the HC later said, ‘Sometimes I forget how old I am.’
The Fever GM also loved the energy and had a special message for others looking to celebrate with the Fever guard. She reshared the post and wrote, “Stay ready when AP is coming your way! Love this,” Cox tweeted.

“That was a masterclass on the defensive end of the floor. It really was. I’m so proud of you. Stepped up to the challenge, back against the wall. And our back is against the wall every [expletive] game. But y’all, look. We ain’t finished though, right? We ain’t finished,” Stephanie White said.
"I'm proud of you. We ain't finished."
