INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The Indiana Fever escaped with a 98-87 win over the Dallas Wings on Friday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, extending their win streak to three games.
It was Indiana’s first meeting with Dallas since the season opener in early May, when the Fever fell 107-104.
On Friday, Fever fans were left holding their breath late in the first half when star guard Caitlin Clark limped to the locker room with under a minute to play before halftime. It appeared Clark's left foot clipped the back of Wings forward Alysha Clark's right foot. Clark then passed on going for a rebound and headed toward the tunnel under her own power.
Clark returned in the second half and immediately sparked Indiana's offense. She finished with a game-high 29 points, with 20 of those coming after halftime. Clark finished with 29 points and 10 assists, the 20th time Clark has had at least 20 points and 10 assists in her career.
As a team, the Fever trailed 37-35 at halftime but outscored the Wings by 13 points in the second half to close out the win. Indiana also dominated the paint, outscoring Dallas 50-34 down low, led by Aliyah Boston’s 16-point, 10-rebound double-double. Friday marked Boston’s 10th double-double this season.
Additionally, ninth-year guard Kelsey Mitchell pushed her streak of 20-point games to 18 straight, extending her own WNBA single-season record. Mitchell shot just 9-21 from the field Friday but still finished with 23 points.
Indiana native and first-year Fever guard Tyasha Harris also pitched in a season-high 15 points while going a perfect 5-for-5 from three-point range.
