The Swifts controlled the second quarter with 10 consecutive goals on their way to a 41-37 win.
Trailing by 10 goals at three quarter time, the Fever looked a different team in the final quarter.
Jordan Cransberg moved into centre and built a strong combination with Jhaniele Fowler with six goal assists for the quarter.
Fever drew within a point of the Swifts before three consecutive goals to Romelda Aiken-George put an end to the Fever’s charge.
The Fever started well with Alice Teague-Neeld leading front as Sasha Glasglow and Nat Butler looked dangerous in attack.
A supershot from Glasgow late in the quarter helped to change the momentum and allowed Fever to go into the first change with a two-goal lead.
