Neither team scored again until Williams hit the winning fade-away.
Indiana's Maya Caldwell missed a clean look at a potential tying 3-pointer from the right corner with about two seconds left and, after the ball went out of bounds off the Sky, Kelsey Mitchell missed another at the buzzer.
Smith led Indiana (5-11) with 27 points, on 11-of-16 shooting, and eight rebounds. Mitchell added a season-high 26 points.
