Caitlin Clark put up 26 points and 12 assists as the Indiana Fever beat the Connecticut Sun 91-75 on Friday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. CBS Sports and ESPN both had the same box: Clark went 9-of-14 from the field and 4-of-8 from three, added six rebounds and three steals, and finished plus-25 in 29 minutes. Indiana improved to 25-14. Connecticut dropped to 10-28.
Kelsey Mitchell scored 24. Aliyah Boston added 14 points and three blocks. The Fever trailed 28-19 after the first quarter, then scored 39 in the second and never looked back. CBS Sports listed Indiana as the WNBA's top scoring team at 96.6 points per game coming in, with a league-best 48.9 percent from the field and 39.5 percent from three.
What were Caitlin Clark's stats vs the Sun?
Twenty-six, six, and 12. That is the sourced line. She also had four turnovers and four fouls. ESPN and CBS matched the field-goal splits. Clark entered Friday averaging 22.1 points and 8.3 assists after a 37-point, 10-assist night in Sunday's 113-90 win over Chicago, CBS Sports wrote. Friday was the quieter version of the same show: fewer heaves, same control.
Mitchell went 9-of-15. Boston was 6-of-9 with two steals. Makayla Timpson had 10 points and seven rebounds. For Connecticut, Diamond Miller led with 19. Nell Angloma had 12 points, seven rebounds, and four steals. The Sun shot 43.8 percent and 7-of-23 from three. Indiana shot 57.1 percent and won the glass 41-29.
How the Fever pulled away
The second quarter was the game. Indiana outscored Connecticut 39-15 and flipped a nine-point hole into a 58-43 half. Clark had a 28-foot three and a layup in the first two minutes of that run. Mitchell stacked a three and a jumper. By the time the fourth started, it was 79-66, and Clark's 32-foot three plus a 20-foot jumper pushed it to 91-75. CBS Sports' play-by-play stopped updating after a Fever timeout at 6:22 of the fourth with that score locked.
The Fever had already beaten the Sun twice this year, including a 123-88 rout in Indianapolis on July 22 when Clark, Mitchell, and Boston combined for 72, CBS Sports noted. Friday was the last home date before the FIBA World Cup pause. Clark is on the U.S. roster. The playoff field is set, and Indiana is chasing a higher seed, the same WNBA desk that already had the DeWanna Bonner Dream signing and the NaLyssa Smith season-ending injury.
