The Connecticut Sun hit the road Tuesday night for a matchup at Gainbridge Fieldhouse against a surging Indiana Fever squad, with both teams trending in opposite directions as of late.
Connecticut arrives in Indianapolis on the heels of back-to-back losses, most recently falling 78-66 to the Chicago Sky at home on Sunday. The Sun struggled to find their offensive rhythm in that contest, shooting just 39.1% from the field and 36.4% from beyond the arc. They connected on eight triples and sank eight free throws but were outplayed inside and on the glass. Chicago dominated the paint, outscoring the Sun 34-24, and made nearly all of their trips to the charity stripe count (16-of-17). The Sky also held a 38-32 edge in rebounds, led by rookie Angel Reese, who tallied her first career triple-double with 11 points, 13 boards, and 11 assists—making her the second-youngest player in WNBA history to reach that milestone.
On the flip side, the Fever are riding high after their biggest offensive performance of the season. Indiana stunned the league on Sunday with a 102-88 home victory over the powerhouse New York Liberty in a WNBA Commissioner’s Cup clash. The win was sparked by the return of rookie sensation Caitlin Clark, who came back from a five-game absence and lit up the scoreboard for 32 points on 11-of-20 shooting. Clark flirted with a triple-double, adding eight rebounds and nine assists in a near-flawless performance.
