Stephanie White’s squad had a dream first half against Dallas-and it wasn’t just Caitlin Clark leading the charge.
Despite Clark missing several games due to injury, the Indiana Fever has stayed on course. Their latest outing was more than just a resounding win over the Dallas Wings-it was a record-breaking showcase of offensive firepower.
After a mixed week with one win and one loss, the Fever bounced back in style, securing back-to-back victories. First came a 99-82 win over the Atlanta Dream, followed by a dominant 102-83 thrashing of Paige Bueckers’Wings.
Beyond the scoreboard, the win highlighted Indiana’s depth and cohesion. The Fever proved they’re a well-rounded unit, capable of stepping up when needed-and they didn’t hesitate to celebrate.
Fever sets the floor on fire
Although Clark had a modest stat line with 14 points, three rebounds, and 13 assists, Indiana overwhelmed Dallas with blistering efficiency in the first half. Their field goal percentage was so jaw-dropping it earned a social media shoutout.
“Closed out the homestand with back-to-back DUBS,” the Fever posted. “We set a franchise record with 64 points in the first half & had five players with double figures in the W over Dallas at @GainbridgeFH.”
No surprise there-Natasha Howard and Kelsey Mitchell dropped 13 points apiece before halftime, while Clark added 10. The team went 24-for-42 from the field, a scorching 64.3%.
What’s next for Clark & crew?
On Tuesday, the Fever travels to Mohegan Sun Arena to face the Connecticut Sun, who sit at a league-worst 3-18. But tougher tests lie ahead, including two road games against defending champs New York Liberty.
Next week’s gauntlet features showdowns with Las Vegas, Chicago, and Phoenix. If Indiana keeps up the chemistry and killer instinct they showed against Dallas, don’t be surprised if they keep racking up wins.
