SEATTLE (AP) --- Caitlin Clark scored 32 points, Kelsey Mitchell added 28 and
the Indiana Fever won their fourth straight game, beating the Seattle Storm
105-95 on Tuesday night.
Clark and Mitchell took over for Indiana (18-10) after Aliyah Boston took a
hard fall and had to exit in the second quarter with a lower-leg injury. Boston
had 11 points and did not return, but wasn't ruled out.
Clark went 9 for 14 with four 3-pointers, made all 10 of her free throws and
added seven assists. It was the ninth time she has scored 30-plus points with
five-plus assists. It has happened only eight other times in the team's history.
Mitchell has scored 20-plus points for a franchise-record 12th straight game,
tied for the third-longest streak in league history.
Monique Billings had 14 points and 11 rebounds to help Indiana top 100 points
for a league-record 12th time this season. Sophie Cunningham scored 11.
The Fever shot 26 for 26 from the line --- one off the league record for most
makes without a miss.
Natisha Hiedeman sank six 3-pointers and scored a career-high 33 for Seattle
(6-24), which has lost seven in a row.
Indiana led 37-20 after one quarter and 58-47 at halftime.
Awa Fam hit a 3-pointer to get Seattle within 65-63, but Clark scored 16 of the
Fever's 18 points for a 76-72 lead heading to the fourth.
Mitchell hit two straight 3s for an 85-76 advantage in the first 1:25 of the
period and Indiana's lead wasn't threatened.
Up next Indiana: At Portland Fire on Friday. Seattle: At Atlanta Dream on Friday. ___ AP WNBA: https://apnews.com/hub/wnba-basketball |
