![Tulsa Shock 150830 [600x600]](https://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/photo/2015/0830/gettyimages-485621700_r5253_600x600_1-1.jpg&w=900&h=360&scale=crop&location=origin)
The Shock had not reached the playoffs since moving to Tulsa from Detroit in 2010. The franchise already has announced that it will relocate to the Dallas-Ft. Worth area for the 2016 season.
Tulsa (15-14) led by as many as 17 points in the first quarter after running off 15 straight points and snapped a string of four straight home-court losses to Indiana (17-12).
Karima Christmas had 18 points, and Plenette Pierson added 11 for Tulsa.
Tamika Catchings scored 22 points and grabbed 13 rebounds but was the lone player to reach double figures in either category for Indiana, which had its club-record streak of four consecutive road victories snapped.
