The Indiana Fever delivered a commanding win over the Connecticut Sun on Tuesday night, pulling ahead 111-91 in what may be the team’s last game before the league pauses for the FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup.
Clark and Mitchell lead the charge
Caitlin Clark, the league’s rising star, posted 34 points and a season‑high 12 assists, while teammate Kelsey Mitchell added 34 points, moving her into the league lead for total points. Their combined effort extended the Fever’s WNBA record for the most 30‑plus‑point games by a pair of teammates in a single season to four.
After falling behind 28-19 in the first quarter, the Fever answered with a dominant 39-15 second‑quarter run, taking a 58-43 lead into halftime. The third quarter remained competitive, highlighted by a spectacular assist from Clark to Mitchell that showcased the team’s chemistry.
Team milestones and upcoming schedule
The victory also marked the Fever’s 19th 100‑plus‑point game of the season, a franchise record. With only four regular‑season games left, Indiana will resume play on September 18 when they travel to face the Toronto Tempo.
Both teams will now shift focus to the upcoming World Cup, where many of the league’s top players will represent their countries on the international stage.
