Indiana Fever Set Franchise Wins Record Beating League-Leading Lynx

The Indiana Fever concluded their regular WNBA season with an 83-72 upset victory over the top-seeded Minnesota Lynx, who rested their MVP candidate Napheesa Collier. Indiana set a franchise record for most wins in a season, finishing 24-20 despite missing star Caitlin Clark, who has played only 13 games this year and will miss the playoffs. Kelsey Mitchell led the Fever with 18 points, while Odyssey Sims added 15, and Aliyah Boston broke the club record for rebounds in a season with 361. The Lynx, who had secured the league's top seed earlier, struggled with shooting, making only 2 of 20 three-pointers, with Jessica Shepherd scoring 16 points in Collier's absence. Indiana quickly took control, scoring the first 10 points and leading by as many as 24, maintaining a strong lead through the quarters. During the game, Caitlin Clark exchanged jerseys with U.S. soccer star Briana Scurry, receiving goalie gloves worn by Scurry in the 2007 World Cup.
