Caitlin Clark, Kelsey Mitchell, Aliyah Boston Power Fever’s Record 123-88 Rout of Sun

Indiana didn’t just beat Connecticut on Wednesday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse — the Fever put up the biggest scoring output in franchise history to do it.

Quick take:

• Result: Indiana Fever 123, Connecticut Sun 88
• Why: Caitlin Clark, Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston all scored 20-plus in the same game for the third time this season
• The number to watch: 123 points — a new Fever franchise scoring record

The Fever (17-10) headed into the WNBA All-Star break exactly the way they wanted to, closing the pre-break slate with their third straight win and a 35-point rout of a Connecticut team (7-20) that simply had no answer for Indiana’s pace. The Sun came in already reeling — losers in five of their last seven — and left Indianapolis having allowed the most points a Fever team has ever scored in a single game.

How the Line Moved Before Tip-Off

Indiana opened as a solid home favorite and the market never wavered, closing at Fever -10.5 with the over/under set at 177.5. Bettors who backed Indiana on the spread cashed comfortably, and the total blew well past the number as the two teams combined for 211 points. The odds reflected a Fever team that had won 7 of its last 10 games while Connecticut had dropped into a stretch where its offense, ranked seventh in the league in paint scoring behind Brittney Griner’s 9.5 points per game there, couldn’t consistently generate enough shots to keep pace.

The Numbers Side by Side

Twenty-nine assists on 123 points tells the real story here — this wasn’t one player going off in isolation, it was Indiana’s offense working exactly as designed. Connecticut, by contrast, managed just 8 assists as a team all night, a sign of how much the Sun were forced into one-on-one possessions once the Fever’s defense started forcing tempo.

Clark, Mitchell and Boston All Went Off Together

Caitlin Clark finished with 27 points on a blistering 8-for-13 from the field and 5-for-9 from three, adding 11 assists, a steal and a block in just 27 minutes. Kelsey Mitchell poured in 23, and Aliyah Boston rounded out the trio with 22 points, six rebounds, five assists and three steals. It marked the third time this season all three have scored 20-plus in the same game, and the Fever wasted no time setting the tone — Mitchell and Clark combined for 22 points in a first quarter Indiana won 36-26.

Indiana’s stars combined for 69 points through three quarters alone.

That kind of production from the top of the roster is exactly why Indiana enters the All-Star break as one of the league’s hottest teams. Clark’s 11 assists pushed her further into elite company; she’s now the fastest player in WNBA history to 200 career made threes, and nights like this one show why defenses simply can’t load up on one Fever scorer without paying for it elsewhere. Connecticut got 15 points from Leila Lacan, who has quietly been one of the Sun’s more consistent options over their last 10 games, but one strong scoring night wasn’t going to be enough against a Fever attack rolling downhill from the opening tip.

Where This Leaves Both Teams

Indiana closes the first half of the season 17-10 and 11-5 at home, riding a three-game winning streak into the break with real momentum. Connecticut falls to 7-20 and 3-10 on the road, a rough finish to a stretch that included five losses in seven games. The Fever also took the season series 2-0, having beaten the Sun 85-75 back on June 13 — Wednesday’s margin was more than four times as large.

For bettors tracking Indiana the rest of the way, keeping an eye on DraftKings promo code offers is worth doing before the Fever’s next home date — this version of the team has been the league’s most explosive offense over its last 10 games, averaging 97.6 points on 49.1% shooting.

What It Means Going Forward

A 35-point win heading into All-Star weekend is about as strong a statement as a team can make. Indiana’s offense has been humming for weeks now, and Wednesday was the clearest proof yet that Clark, Mitchell and Boston can all produce at a high level in the same 40 minutes without stepping on each other.

Connecticut, meanwhile, heads into the break needing answers on both ends — the Sun’s defense allowed a season high in points, and the offense couldn’t find enough easy looks to keep the game competitive past the first quarter.

The result:

1. Final: Indiana Fever 123, Connecticut Sun 88
2. Standout: Caitlin Clark — 27 points, 11 assists

It was a franchise-record night for Indiana and a reminder of just how dangerous this Fever roster looks with its top three scorers all clicking at once.
