INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Fever completed a comeback victory over the New York Liberty, 108-88, on Saturday night on the second game of a back-to-back at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
Kelsey Mitchell had her second straight 30-plus-point game, tallying 33 on 10-of-14 shooting on Saturday night. Caitlin Clark, after a franchise-record 45 points on Friday, had 17 points and seven assists on Saturday.
The Fever are now 16-10 on the season.

It did not look like the Fever were on the second game of a back-to-back at all, and that’s the way they like it. They strung together two straight great games at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, including a 45-point masterclass from Caitlin Clark on Friday against Seattle, then a comeback victory after being down 13 points in the first half against New York. Kelsey Mitchell continued her dominance too, with a second-straight 30+ point game. This is the consistency the Fever need to be a great team, and to be a team that can become a contender through the second half of the season.
