Clark’s 32-point night fuels Fever’s latest 100-point explosion


SEATTLE — Caitlin Clark scored 32 points, Kelsey Mitchell added 28 and the Indiana Fever won their fourth straight game, beating the Seattle Storm 105-95 on Tuesday night.

The night was one for the books for Indiana’s high-powered offense, which topped 100 points for the fourth straight game, the longest such streak in WNBA history, and the 12th time this season, also a league record.

The Fever shot 26-for-26 from the line, one off the league record for most makes without a miss.

Clark and Mitchell took over for Indiana (18-10) after Aliyah Boston took a hard fall and had to exit in the second quarter with a lower leg injury. Boston had 11 points and did not return. Coach Stephanie White did not have an update on Boston’s status but said the team thought it “wasn’t really worth the risk” to have her play in the second half.

“Our team came together. They were talking about it during the timeout together,” White said of the Fever responding to Boston’s injury. “I think our communication in huddles before we get in there as coaches has been really, really good. Talking about being there for AB and everybody has to do just a little bit more. And I think our team did that.”

Clark went 9-for-14 with four 3-pointers, made all 10 of her free throws and added seven assists. It was the ninth time she has scored 30-plus points with five-plus assists. It has happened only eight other times in the team’s history.

Mitchell entered the third quarter with 10 points but turned it on in the fourth, exploding for 18 points on 6-of-7 shooting. She scored 20-plus points for a franchise-record 12th straight game, tying Diana Taurasi (2006) and Breanna Stewart (2017) for the second-longest 20-point streak in league history. Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson holds the record with 15 straight in the 2025 season.

“I think it says a lot about our culture,” Mitchell said of the Fever’s ability to thrive without Boston. “I think Steph has been hammering that home since our training camp started. Obviously, you don’t want to see a person like AB go down in any capacity, but I think that next-man-up mentality kind of gives people the confidence to go and be who they are.”

Natisha Hiedeman sank six 3-pointers and scored a career-high 33 for Seattle (6-24), which has lost seven in a row.
