Clark and Mitchell Power Fever Past Storm, Boston Exits with Injury
The Indiana Fever extended their winning streak to four games with a 105-95 victory over the Seattle Storm on Tuesday night, fueled by a dominant performance from Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell. Clark scored a game-high 32 points, while Mitchell added 28 points, as the duo combined for 60 points to lead Indiana (18-10) to a crucial win on the road.
The game took a concerning turn in the second quarter when Fever star Aliyah Boston suffered a lower-leg injury after a hard fall. Boston, who had 11 points before exiting, was helped to the locker room and did not return. She was listed as questionable but remained on the bench for the remainder of the contest. Despite her absence, Indiana maintained its composure and pulled away in the second half.
Clark, playing without a minutes restriction for the first time since the All-Star break, showcased her full arsenal, scoring efficiently and creating opportunities for teammates. Mitchell complemented her backcourt partner with sharp shooting, ensuring the Fever offense never stalled. Laeticia Amihere also stepped up, logging eight points and five rebounds in just under nine minutes of first-quarter action while Boston sat with early fouls, and continued her strong play after the injury.
The win keeps Indiana in strong position in the standings as they build momentum heading into the latter part of the season. For Seattle, the loss snaps their recent positive run. The Fever will look to extend their streak in their next outing, while Boston’s injury status will be closely monitored. The team has not ruled her out for future games, but her absence could test Indiana’s depth in the coming days.
