Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever will look to extend the first round of the playoffs to a Game 3 with a win over the Connecticut Sun on Wednesday night.
The Indiana Fever have the whole season on the line Wednesday and will need to pull off a win against the Connecticut Sun to stay alive in their first playoff run since 2016. It will take a lot of work to pull off the comeback, as the Sun won handily in Game 1 with a 93-69 victory. This is the Sun’s eighth straight year playing in the postseason, so the program is no stranger to high stakes games. Playoffs often bring out the best in competitive players and Sunday was no different for the Sun’s standout forward Alyssa Thomas, as she recorded her fourth career triple-double in the win with 10 rebounds, 12 points and 13 assists. Marina Mabrey led the team in scoring with 27 points, while DeWanna Bonner added 22 points to the scoreboard.

Not only did Bonner contribute offensively, but she was tasked with guarding Caitlin Clark and held the No. 1 pick to just 11 points. Clark averaged 19.2 points per game during the regular season and is one of the biggest reasons that the Fever were able to make a return to postseason play. Kelsey Mitchell led the Fever offensively with 21 points and Aliyah Boston added 17 points and 11 rebounds to the stat sheet for a double-double. If the Sun are able to shut down Mitchell and Boston like they did Clark on Sunday, the series will be over before the end of the first quarter.
Will Fever head coach Christie Sides be able to find a solution to keep her team’s season alive or will her first playoff run end before it really begins? Tune in Wednesday night as the Fever and Sun square-off for the sixth time this season.
