Indiana scored just six points in the first quarter, tied for
its fewest in any quarter since 2018 and its fewest in the first
since 2016. The Fever responded with a 35-point second quarter —
the second-most they’ve scored in a quarter this season — to tie
the game 41-all at the break. Clark scored 15 in the second
quarter.
The Fever outscored Phoenix 30-11 in the third and held off a
late charge in a chippy fourth that saw six technical fouls
handed out between the two teams. Myisha Hines-Allen was ejected
after picking up her second technical foul.
Clark and Mitchell made 16 of Indiana's 27 field goals,
including six 3-pointers.
Monique Billings finished with 14 points and 10 rebounds for her
first double-double of the year for Indiana (10-7), which
snapped a two-game skid. Aliyah Boston was held to eight points
on 2-of-9 shooting. Clark has the most consecutive 20-point,
five-assist games in WNBA history with six.
Kahleah Copper scored 20 points for Phoenix (5-12), and Alyssa
Thomas had 19 points, five rebounds and nine assists.
Thomas became the fastest player in WNBA history to record 500
assists with a franchise, surpassing Clark in four fewer games.
She also moved to 13th on the WNBA's career steals list.
