Mitchell and Clark Combine for 50 as Indiana Stuns New York (106 – 91)

The Indiana Fever delivered a resounding statement Tuesday night, overpowering the New York Liberty 106-92 with a record-setting offensive clinic at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

Indiana blitzed New York early, fueled by Kelsey Mitchell’s scorching 28 points on 11-of-16 shooting. This marked Mitchell’s 17th consecutive game scoring at least 20 points. Point guard Caitlin Clark orchestrated the attack flawlessly, posting a double-double with 22 points and 10 assists, while center Aliyah Boston dominated the paint with 19 points and seven rebounds.

The Fever’s efficiency was staggering. They shot 54% from the field and an incredible 64% from beyond the arc, crossing the 100-point threshold for a WNBA-record 13th time this season.

New York fought back behind 19 points apiece from Breanna Stewart and Sabrina Ionescu, alongside a 14-point, 10-rebound double-double from Jonquel Jones. However, the Liberty couldn’t match Indiana’s firepower, snapping their four-game winning streak.

With their seventh victory in nine games, the surging Fever continue to build momentum, proving their high-octane offense makes them a formidable threat as the playoffs approach.

Indiana Fever fall to the Las Vegas Aces as A’ja Wilson breaks WNBA Single-Season Scoring Record  

September 12, 2024

ESPN WNBA;

A’ja Wilson became the WNBA’s single-season scoring leader and finished with 27 points and 12 rebounds to help the Las Vegas Aces beat the Indiana Fever 86-75 on Wednesday night for their 14th straight win in the series.

Wilson passed Jewell Loyd’s total of 939 points on a jumper from the free-throw line with 26.4 seconds left before halftime. Wilson needed just 35 games to top last year’s record by Loyd, who needed 38 games. Wilson’s previous high was 912 points, set in 40 games last season.

She finished the game with 956 points this season and could potentially be the first player in league history to reach 1,000 in a year.

This is a good measuring stick for the Fever to gauge on how they fare against the best team and facing the best player in the WNBA. Add the shooting woes of Caitlin Clark and foul trouble on Aliyah Boston. Kelsey Mitchell, as always kept them in the game but not enough for them to overcome the 12-point deficit.

Las Vegas Aces is the only team that the Indiana Fever have not beat this season and they will have another chance this Saturday, Sept 14th.
