The Indiana Fever scored in triple-digits for the sixth straight game, but they couldn’t extend their winning streak as they fell to the Minnesota Lynx, 108-100, on Sunday to finish out a three-game road trip.
Kelsey Mitchell led all scorers with 37 points, while Caitlin Clark added on 19 points and 10 assists and Aliyah Boston had 15 points and seven rebounds.

The Indiana Fever’s offense is completely fine. Most nights, they can shoot their opponent out of the gym, minimal defense required. But that didn’t work for them Sunday afternoon, as they met a Minnesota team that is easily one of the top contenders for the league championship. The fourth-quarter comeback showed fight, even playing just 36 hours before on the other side of the country, and it shows how the Fever can improve. But Indiana’s defense has been a sticking point all season, and they’ll need to find a way to fix it to become true contenders this year.
