Caitlin Clark’s double-double helped the Indiana Fever beat the Washington Mystics 88-81 on Wednesday in Indianapolis to win their third straight.
The former Iowa star had 18 points and a career-high 12 rebounds to go with six assists and four steals; it’s Clark’s second double-double this season.
Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell had a team-high 22 points each and both shot a supremely efficient 72.7% from the floor.
It’s the first time since 2015 that the Fever have enjoyed a four-game home winning streak.
“It’s huge,” Clark told NBA TV of the run. “When you can stack these wins, it gives everybody confidence. We’re a young group, so I think we’re starting to see our potential and what we’re able to do. I think Aliyah’s been amazing, Kelsey Mitchell has been great.
“Everybody has been contributing in ways that they need to and it’s been fun. These have been team wins. It hasn’t been any individual that’s been doing it all for us, and when we have that balance, I think it’s really hard for other teams to guard us.”
