INDIANAPOLIS (AP) --- Kelsey Mitchell had 33 points on 10-of-14 shooting,
Caitlin Clark added 17 points, and the Indiana Fever beat the New York Liberty
108-88 on Saturday night.
Mitchell, who scored 30 Friday night in a 110-107 win over Seattle, has
back-to-back 30-point games for the first time in her career and has scored at
least 20 points in 10 consecutive games.
Clark was coming off a franchise-record 45 points and 10 assists against
Seattle, the first game of 40-plus points and at least 10-plus assists in WNBA
history.
The Fever, who trailed by 13, used a 13-3 run late in the second quarter to cut
their deficit to 49-45 at halftime. Clark converted a three-point play that
gave Indiana its first lead of the game at 50-49 early in the third quarter.
The Liberty committed nine of their 15 turnovers as they were outscored 28-12
in the third.
The Liberty (13-12) have lost four games in a row and six of seven overall and
have dropped five straight on the road.
Breanna Stewart led New York with 26 points on 10-of-16 shooting. Marine
Johannes --- who scored 12 points on 4-of-8 shooting from 3-point range, all in
the first seven minutes --- left the game early in the fourth quarter due to an
ankle injury and did not return.
Clark was called for a technical foul in the opening moments after a no-call on
a hard screen set by Jonquel Jones that knocked the All-Star guard to the
ground.
Leonie Fiebich (foot) and Satou Sabally (concussion protocol) did not play for
New York.
The Liberty beat Indiana 83-75 at home in the first of four matchups this
season on June 6.
