Fever Beat Lynx 82-75
LOS ANGELES, Calif. (AP) - The Indiana Fever finally got their first win of the 2023 season on Sunday, beating the Minnesota Lynx 82-75 behind a double-double from Caitlin Clark.
Clark, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 WNBA Draft, finished with 11 points and 10 rebounds for her first career double-double. She also had four assists and two steals.
The Fever (1-4) snapped a four-game losing streak with the win, while the Lynx (1-4) extended their losing streak to four games.
The Fever led by just two points at halftime, but they pulled away in the second half thanks to a strong performance from Clark and their bench.
Victoria Vivians led the Fever with 17 points, while Aaliyah Boston added 15 points and 10 rebounds. Breanna Stewart led the Lynx with 22 points, while Sylvia Fowles added 18 points and 10 rebounds.
The Fever will return to action on Tuesday when they host the Las Vegas Aces. The Lynx will return to action on Wednesday when they host the Chicago Sky.
Conclusion
The Fever's first win of the season is a big step in the right direction for the young team. Clark is starting to find her footing in the WNBA, and the Fever are starting to gel as a unit. With a little more consistency, the Fever could be a playoff contender this season.
