Overview

  • Golden State’s defense dominated the fourth quarter, outscoring Indiana 33-18 to overturn a late deficit and close out the 88-77 win.
  • Caitlin Clark finished with 11 points, seven rebounds and nine assists but shot just 3-for-14 and went 0-for-7 from three-point range under heavy Valkyries coverage.
  • Kayla Thornton paced the Valkyries with 16 points and six rebounds, complemented by double-digit contributions from Tiffany Hayes and Veronica Burton off the bench.
  • Aliyah Boston recorded a 17-point, 12-rebound double-double for the Fever, yet Indiana struggled to contain Golden State’s balanced attack in the fourth quarter.
  • With head coach Stephanie White sidelined for personal reasons, assistant Austin Kelly led the Fever, who now prepare for Sunday’s road game at Las Vegas, while the Valkyries host Connecticut.
