The Indiana Fever secured a hard-fought victory against the Connecticut Sun with a final score of 84-80 on Wednesday night, marking their first win in the series since July 3, 2021. The Fever, now standing at 15-16 for the season, have been on an impressive run with four wins out of their last five games post the WNBA's Olympic break, while the Sun's three-game winning streak came to an end.
The game saw a closely contested battle with neither team holding a double-digit lead. Rookie sensation Caitlin Clark made her mark by setting a new WNBA rookie record for 3-pointers, surpassing the previous record with a total of 88 3-pointers this season. Clark's stellar performance, combined with Kelsey Mitchell's consistent scoring, proved to be crucial for the Fever's success.
