Summary

  • 113-90 was Indiana’s answer to a two-game skid, lifting the Fever to 25-14 and completing a season sweep of Chicago despite Aliyah Boston sitting out with a lower leg injury.
  • Caitlin Clark scored 37 points with 10 assists and Kelsey Mitchell added 30 as the pair combined for 14 three-pointers, turning a 51-50 halftime deficit into a runaway win.
  • Chicago stayed close early behind a balanced first half and Natasha Cloud’s 16 points and seven assists, but the Sky stalled once Indiana’s defense tightened in the fourth quarter.
  • The victory steadied the Fever after a slide that dropped them to fifth in a tightly packed playoff race, with Indiana next set to host Connecticut on Friday.
