Indiana Fever Secure Fifth Straight Win Over Connecticut Sun in Sold-Out Boston Garden

The Indiana Fever defeated the Connecticut Sun 85-77 at a sold-out TD Garden in Boston, marking Caitlin Clark's first game at the venue. Clark, returning from a groin injury, struggled with shooting but scored nine straight points late to help seal the win, finishing with 14 points, seven rebounds, and a game-high six assists before aggravating her groin in the final minute. Kelsey Mitchell led the Fever with 20 points, while Natasha Howard added 18 points and 13 rebounds, compensating for Clark's shooting difficulties. The Sun were led by Tina Charles with 21 points and 11 rebounds but struggled with shooting overall, hitting just 36% from the field and 20% from three-point range. The game was a rematch of a prior heated encounter in June that involved multiple scuffles, though Tuesday's contest was less volatile. The Fever improved to 12-10 and will next face the New York Liberty on the road, while the Sun continue their challenging rebuilding season with a 3-19 record.
