Stop me if you’ve heard this before: Caitlin Clark hit a big 3, and the game was all but over.
Clark’s 3 with 3:06 to play gave Indiana an 84-77 lead, its largest of the game, and the Fever pulled away 91-83 for its second consecutive win over the Chicago Sky.
Clark led all scorers with 23 points, adding eight rebounds and nine assists, plus two blocks. Her connection with Aliyah Boston (19 points, 14 rebounds, five blocks) was evident Sunday, as the two No. 1 picks worked together beautifully to pick up Indiana’s fifth win of the season.
Though the Sky dominated the boards early, Indiana wound up winning the battle on the glass 38-32. That was at least partially due to foul trouble from Chicago’s Angel Reese, the league’s top offensive rebounder who had to sit for a long stretch in the third quarter. The Sky struggled without Reese on the floor, while the Fever thrived. Reese finished with 11 points and 13 rebounds, but shot just 4-of-13 from the floor. Marina Mabrey led Chicago with 22 points.
Indiana also shared the ball well in the win, totaling 23 assists on 35 made field goals. Five Fever players scored nine points or more; besides Clark and Boston, Kelsey Mitchell chipped in 17, NaLyssa Smith had 15 and Katie Lou Samuelson went 3-of-4 from 3 for nine points.
