The recent game between the Indiana Fever and Connecticut Sun saw the Fever suffer a defeat despite Caitlin Clark’s impressive performance in the previous game. In a match where the Sun emerged victorious with a score of 89-72, the Fever struggled to keep up and ended up suffering a defeat.
Clark had shown promise in the previous game, scoring an outstanding 30 points, but was unable to replicate this against Connecticut. She finished with only 10 points on 3-for-8 shooting, which marked one of her lowest scoring totals of the season. Despite pleas from the crowd, Clark left the game in the third quarter after committing her fourth foul and remained on the bench along with other Fever starters.
The Sun’s DiJonai Carrington led the charge with 22 points, complemented by Alyssa Thomas who secured 18 rebounds and seven assists. DeWanna Bonner added 17 points and moved into 10th place on the WNBA’s all-time three-pointer list. Meanwhile, Aliyah Boston contributed 14 points with 12 rebounds for Indiana, while Lexie Hull put up 10 points as well.
With this loss, Indiana’s record stands at 3-10 for the season and 2-5 on the road. They will have an opportunity to bounce back when they host Atlanta Dream next, while Connecticut will face Chicago Sky in their next game. Despite this setback, it is clear that Indiana still has a chance to redeem themselves in future matchups.
