Scuffle In Indiana! Caitlin Clark Gets Poked In The Eye and Shoved In Fever’s Win

Caitlin Clark had 20 points, six templates and four 3-point fever and the fever of Indiana on Tuesday evening in a physical game that contained three late effects that defeated Connecticut Sun 88: 71.

With 46.1 seconds in the fourth quarter, Connecticut Guard Jacy Sheldon made a bargain and raced the other way around before it was completed by Sophie Cunningham under the basket for a hard foul. Sheldon got up Quicky and stood in a thrust game with Cunningham, which led to Cunningham, Sheldon and Lindsay.

Sheldon was also the center of another official assessment in the third quarter after she came into the eye and Marina Mabrey came too late to push Clark onto the floor. Three technical fouls were mentioned, which led to Clark’s three free throws for a lead of 58-45.

The Indiana victory, combined with a defeat in Atlanta against New York, secured the fever’s place in the Commissioner Cup with a 4-1 record. The fever kept the Tiebreaker after a win of 102-88 on Saturday with freedom.

Kelsey Mitchell added 17 points and Natasha Howard had 16 points and 12 rebounds for Indiana (6-5), which for the first time since the third game of the season went over 0.500. Damiris Dantas scored a season high of 13 and Howard secured her 50th career double double.

Tina Charles led Connecticut (2-9) with 20 points. Olivia Nelson -oda added 14 points and Jaelyn Brown scored 13.

Clark, who returned from an injury on Saturday to make seven 3 points against New York, made her first three 3 points against the sun and scored 12 points in the first half to help Indiana build a lead of 47: 39.

Connecticut was 8:15 in the third quarter within 50-43, but only scored the 2: 49 mark by 12 points.

Clark’s fourth 3 pointer did 84-64.
