Caitlin Clark, Kelsey Mitchell are making the Fever into title contenders
The Fever picked up an important road win on Sunday in Chicago on the backs of their star backcourt.
Championships are often won on the back of a strong defense. At least that’s how the old adage goes.
The Fever are looking to buck that trend this season on the back of their historic backcourt.
On Sunday, Indiana used a strong second half to overwhelm the Sky, 113-90, in the final contest of their five-game road trip. Caitlin Clark tallied 37 points and 10 assists, the fifth 30-point, 10-assist game of her career. The rest of the players in WNBA history have four.
At the same time, Kelsey Mitchell poured in 23 second-half points to finish with 30 on the night, extending her record streak of games with at least 20 points to 23.
