The Indiana Fever achieved a narrow 92-89 victory against the Phoenix Mercury in a game where key player Caitlin Clark was sidelined for rest. Despite trailing by 10 points midway through the fourth quarter, the Fever mounted a significant comeback. This win was crucial for Indiana, salvaging their west coast road trip. The team's other All-Stars, Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston, delivered critical baskets in the final minute to secure the win.
Kelsey Mitchell led the scoring with 29 points, continuing her strong performance streak. Aliyah Boston, returning to the lineup, contributed 21 points and 9 rebounds, demonstrating an improved threat from beyond the arc. Tyasha Harris also stepped up significantly in Caitlin Clark's absence, scoring 15 points and providing 5 assists with several clutch shots in the closing moments. The Fever will conclude their road trip against the defending champion Las Vegas Aces. This matchup follows a recent controversial game between the teams that resulted in a suspension.
Indiana's previous victory against the Aces occurred when both Clark and A'ja Wilson were out. Wilson has since returned for Las Vegas, and Clark is expected to play on Sunday.
