The Indiana Fever triumphed over the Seattle Storm 92-75 Sunday, with standout performances from Kelsey Mitchell and Caitlin Clark—in Clark's case, a record-breaking one. Mitchell netted 27 points and Clark contributed 23 points and nine assists. Lexie Hull delivered a career-best game, scoring 12 of her career-high 22 points in the fourth quarter to boost Indiana.
Clark, the top pick in the 2024 draft, broke the WNBA rookie record for assists at 232 for the season, besting the record 224 logged by Ticha Penicheiro in 1998. Clark has averaged an impressive 23.7 points and 11.7 assists over her last six games. Mitchell was highly efficient, hitting 5 of 8 from 3-point range. Aliyah Boston also made significant contributions with 15 rebounds and a career-high eight assists.
Despite Jewell Loyd's 26 points and determined efforts from Skylar Diggins-Smith and Nneka Ogwumike, the Storm struggled with a 38.9% shooting percentage from the field. Indiana capitalized on a strong fourth quarter with Hull's pivotal 3-pointers and Clark's assists, widening the gap to secure their victory. The Fever, now 13-15, have shown significant improvement, matching their previous season's win total with 12 games remaining. (This story was generated by Newser's AI chatbot. Source: the AP)
