Indiana's Caitlin Clark broke the WNBA rookie record for 3-pointers in a season, and teammate Kelsey Mitchell became the first Fever player to score 20-plus points five games in a row. It added up to an 84-80 victory over Connecticut on Wednesday night in Indianapolis that ended the Fever's 11-game losing streak to the Sun. The Fever moved to 15-16 after starting the season 1-8. Their 12-6 record since June 10 is the third-best mark in the WNBA over that stretch, trailing only New York and Minnesota. Indiana is closing in on getting its first playoff berth since 2016, when it finished 17-17. The WNBA moved to a 40-game season last year. The Sun fell to 22-8 after losing to Indiana for the first time since July 3, 2021. "The maturity and the toughness that my players showed tonight was just incredible," Fever coach Christie Sides said. "We're watching them grow up, from where we started to where we are now. Connecticut is an incredible team.
