| Associated Press | KELSEY MITCHELL, CAITLIN CLARK HELP FEVER CONTINUE HOT STREAK WITH 106-92 VICTORY OVER LIBERTY | 1 hr ago |
In Indianapolis on Tuesday night, the Indiana Fever beat the New York Liberty 106‑92, with Kelsey Mitchell scoring 28 points and Caitlin Clark adding 22 points plus 10 assists to lead a dominant first‑half performance.
Mitchell fired 11 of 16 shots in the first half, including four three‑pointers, while the Fever shot an overall 59 % from the floor and 79 % from beyond the arc. The team finished 16‑for‑25 from deep, with Clark, Mitchell, and Sophie Cunningham each hitting four triples. Indiana’s coach, Stephanie White, entered the game with a 2 ½‑minute pre‑game outburst, defending her players and criticizing what she sees as distractions that have overshadowed the league, a stance echoed in a recent ESPN feature that praised White for standing by her squad.
The victory extends the Fever’s streak to seven wins in nine games, solidifying their status as one of the league’s top contenders after a recent 20‑point loss to Indiana in mid‑July. The win also prevented a double‑digit lead from evaporating, a pattern that had troubled the Fever in a prior matchup against the defending champions.
