The Lynx took control of the game early, establishing a commanding lead in the first quarter. Despite the Fever’s recent success—winning seven of their last nine games as they fight for their own playoff position—Indiana mounted a comeback in the second quarter, outscoring Minnesota 28-16 and narrowing the halftime gap to just one point. However, the Lynx surged ahead in the fourth quarter, responding to a 74-71 deficit with a 12-0 run that sealed their victory. ➔➔➔ KingGame
Napheesa Collier shined for the Lynx, delivering a season-high 31 points along with five rebounds, marking her third consecutive game with over 23 points. Kayla McBride added 19 points and four assists, while Bridget Carleton contributed 16 points, four rebounds, four assists, and two steals. ➔➔➔ KingGame
For the Fever, Caitlin Clark led the charge with a team-high 23 points, five rebounds, and eight assists. Unfortunately, she also recorded seven turnovers, bringing her league-leading total to 162 for the season (an average of 5.8 per game). Despite this, Clark continues to lead the WNBA in assists, averaging 8.3 per game. Kelsey Mitchell added 21 points, while Aliyah Boston grabbed 15 rebounds and scored 10 points.
Clark’s performance this season has been historic, as she has become the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 500 points and 200 assists within a single season, and the first rookie to achieve this milestone.
This victory improves the Lynx’s record to 23-8, placing them third in the WNBA standings and tying them with the New York Liberty and Connecticut Sun in the playoff race. Under head coach Cheryl Reeve, now in her 15th season, Minnesota has made the playoffs 13 times. ➔➔➔ KingGame
The Indiana Fever, suffering their first loss since the Olympic break, now hold a 13-16 record. However, they remain the seventh seed in the league, keeping them in playoff contention.
The Fever will wrap up their two-game road trip on Monday night at 7:30 PM ET against the Atlanta Dream. Meanwhile, the Lynx’s next game is scheduled for Wednesday at 10 PM ET, where they will face the Phoenix Mercury on the road. To learn more, please follow us at PH POP Casino.
