(MENAFN- Live Mint) The Indiana Fever weren't just playing for a trophy - they were playing for history. And when they sealed their first-ever Commissioner's Cup title with a commanding 74-59 win over the Minnesota Lynx, the celebration that followed said it all. According to TMZ, inside the locker room, the mood turned electric. Players danced, laughed, and popped champagne, live-streaming the entire moment. At the heart of it was Sophie Cunningham.

The 28-year-old guard, who dropped 13 points in the final, was seen dancing in front of a teammate's Instagram Live, twerking to cheers and laughs. The clip quickly caught fire online.

What did Indiana Fever win?

It was a big night for the team - and not just for the bragging rights. With the Commissioner's Cup win, players are set to split a $500,000 prize pool. So when the final buzzer went off, the real party began.

There were lighter moments too - like the locker room playlist sparking debate. At one point, Clark asked for Chappell Roan's Pink Pony Club to be skipped. The banter, the beats, and the bubbly made for a night the Fever won't forget.

Sophie Cunningham in the spotlight

Cunningham is quickly becoming a fan favourite. Last month, she drew attention for stepping in during a heated moment against Connecticut, confronting Jacy Sheldon after Clark took a hard foul.

That on-court fire, combined with Tuesday's locker room energy, is cementing her place in the league's spotlight.

The Fever's Commissioner's Cup win is a milestone. For a team that's still rebuilding and developing young talent, this tournament victory sends a clear message - they're coming into their own.
