Live: Fever vs Sky – Caitlin Clark Battles Angel Reese in High-Stakes WNBA Showdown Tonight

Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever torched the Chicago Sky 113-90 on Sunday night at Wintrust Arena, sweeping the regular-season series 3-0 and tightening their grip on second place in the Eastern Conference. The rookie sensation erupted for 37 points on 13-of-24 shooting, drilling eight three-pointers and dishing 10 assists for her fifth 30-plus-point, 10-assist performance of the season—more than every other player in WNBA history combined. Running mate Kelsey Mitchell poured in 30 points and Makayla Timpson added 18 points and nine rebounds as Indiana (25-14) shot 53 percent overall and a blistering 55 percent from deep. After the teams traded 28-point first quarters, the Fever seized control with a 33-16 blitz in the third, stretching a two-point halftime edge into a 21-point cushion they never relinquished. Indiana turned nine turnovers into 16 points and led for nearly 32 minutes. Chicago (15-23) got 22 points and eight boards from Azurá Stevens and 16 points, seven assists from Natasha Cloud, but the Sky managed just 4-of-21 from beyond the arc and surrendered 42 fast-break points. The night wasn’t without drama: former NBA center Enes Kanter Freedom was escorted from courtside late in the fourth quarter after a heated verbal exchange with Cloud, momentarily halting play and igniting social-media debate about fan conduct. Playoff picture: The Fever remain two games behind conference-leading Atlanta with seven to play, while Chicago’s ninth loss in 11 outings leaves the Sky 2.5 games out of the final Wild Card. The clubs will not meet again unless they collide in the postseason. Up next, Indiana returns home Wednesday to host the Connecticut Sun, whereas Chicago embarks on a West-Coast back-to-back against Las Vegas and Seattle, desperately needing wins to keep playoff hopes alive.
