Shenise Johnson scored 15 points and Marissa Coleman added 14 as the Indiana Fever beat the Minnesota Lynx 75-69 on Sunday to force a decisive Game 5 in the WNBA Finals.
As they've done all playoffs, the Fever found a way to stave off elimination.
Indiana are 5-0 in elimination games this post-season and 9-2 since the 2012 playoffs when they beat Minnesota for their lone title.
Game 5 is on Wednesday in Minnesota.
Trailing 38-36 early in the third quarter, Indiana took control with a 13-2 run. Johnson scored the final four points of the burst.
Indiana led 51-44 before Coleman scored five straight, including a three-pointer that gave the Fever the biggest lead of the series for either team at 58-44.
That was the Fever's only basket in a nine-minute stretch.
Indiana had just one basket in the final quarter allowing Minnesota to rally within four behind Maya Moore, but the Lynx could get no closer.
