Overview

  • Caitlin Clark tallied 20 points, six assists and four 3-pointers in Tuesday’s 88-71 victory over the Connecticut Sun.
  • Indiana improved to 6-5 overall and posted a 4-1 record in the Commissioner’s Cup group stage to clinch a July 1 final berth.
  • Clark became the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 100 points and 50 assists in a season, doing so in just six games this year.
  • The game turned physical when Connecticut’s Jacy Sheldon poked Clark in the eye and Marina Mabrey responded by shoving her, leading to multiple technical fouls and the ejection of Sheldon, Sophie Cunningham and Lindsay Allen.
  • Veteran Natasha Howard said the Fever “stayed level-headed” under pressure as Indiana weathered rough tactics to strengthen its momentum in the in-season tournament.
