LOS ANGELES (AP) Tamika Catchings had 20 points and seven rebounds to help the Indiana Fever beat the Los Angeles Sparks 79-68 on Tuesday night for their seventh win in eight games since the All-Star break.

Indiana won at Los Angeles for the first time since 2010, snapping its seven-game losing streak in the series.

Briann January added 16 points and Marissa Coleman had 14 for Indiana (15-9). The Fever made 10 3-pointers, led by Coleman's three.

Los Angeles opened the fourth quarter on an 8-3 run for a 58-57 lead. But Indiana scored the next six as Los Angeles went scoreless for nearly 3 minutes. Coleman's 3-pointer at the 2:24 mark extended the Fever's lead to 73-64. Los Angeles made just one field goal in the final 4 minutes.

Candace Parker had 25 points, 10 rebounds, six assists and a franchise-record eight steals for Los Angeles (8-17). Ana Dabovic scored 12, all in the first half.

Indiana made 5 of 10 3-pointers in the first half to stay within striking distance.

Catchings hit a 3-pointer to cap Indiana's 11-0 run to start the third quarter, cutting its deficit to 44-41. The Fever took their first lead since it was 18-17 on Coleman's four-point play just before the third-quarter buzzer. Los Angeles had eight turnovers in the third -after just five in the first half - and was outscored 24-6.

Los Angeles made just nine field goals in the second half.
