Caitlin Clark overcomes another physical game by scoring 23 points to lead Fever past Sky 91-83
Associated PressINDIANAPOLIS — Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston are finally getting in sync and, naturally, Indiana looks like it finally has a winning combination. The rookie guard overcame yet another physically demanding challenge from Chicago by finishing with 23 points, nine assists and eight rebounds while Boston produced her third consecutive double-double to lead the Fever to a 91-83 victory over the Sky on Sunday. But, just like the first contest two weeks ago, Clark took a hard shot that knocked her to the ground, this time when college rival Angel Reese’s right elbow hit Clark in the head. But the lingering impact from the Clark-Carter play and the highly anticipated rematch between Reese and Clark had another full house inside Gainbridge Fieldhouse buzzing throughout a game that included heated moments such as Clark smacking Dana Evans’ arm away after Evans hooked Clark and Reese pushing an Indiana player after losing a rebound. Indiana sealed it with a sequence that included Clark’s second 3 of the game, Boston’s short jumper, Smith’s layup and two free throws from Clark over the final 3:06.
