The Indiana Fever secured a hard-fought victory over the Washington Mystics with a final score of 85-83 in a thrilling WNBA matchup. This game showcased the skill and determination of both teams, as they battled it out until the very end.
One key factor in the Fever's success was their strong offensive performance, led by standout players such as Kelsey Mitchell and Teaira McCowan. Their ability to consistently score points and execute plays effectively helped propel the team to victory.
Defensively, the Fever also put on an impressive display, with players like Tiffany Mitchell and Victoria Vivians stepping up to make crucial stops and force turnovers. Their tenacity on defense played a significant role in limiting the Mystics' scoring opportunities.
Clark wound up tying the WNBA rookie record and setting the Fever rookie record with seven made 3-pointers. Her seven triples are tied with the Starzz's Elena Baranova (July 22, 1997), the Comets' Cynthia Cooper (July 25, 1997) and the Liberty's Crystal Robinson (July 24, 1999)
