No. 7 Indiana appears back on track, toppling No. 2 Atlanta 83-71 to open its WNBA Commissioner’s Cup defense with Thursday’s Fever vs Dream win.
Fever big three Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston, and Kelsey Mitchell carried the game, combining for 61 of Indiana’s 83 points — while holding Dream leading scorer Allisha Gray to just 13 points on the night.
“There’s always going to be conversation, and I totally respect that,” Clark said of Indiana’s recent headline-making struggles. “But the sky is not falling.”
The Fever will aim to get another result against New York on Saturday, taking on a Liberty side confronting its own adversity.
Injury-plagued guard Sabrina Ionescu has played just one game for New York this year, though the team is hopeful she’ll return to the court tomorrow.
“May happened — that month was a little bit of a learning period for us,” said Liberty forward Breanna Stewart. “But this is June, now it’s our month to build that confidence.”
