and 12 assists and the Indiana Fever overcame a record tying nine three-pointers from Eric
hen bow in a 100 to 93 victory over the Dallas Wings on Sunday Kelsey Mitchell scored 36 points
including a three that gave the fever a four-point lead with 158 remaining in a meeting of teams that
entered with matching three- game winning streaks hen B finished N9 of 16 from long range beating

minute Ogen B who tied a career high with eight rebounds matched the league record for 3 seconds
held by Mitchell 2019 and Seattle's juwel Lloyd 2023 I salute people like Eric because off the
court we're really great friends Mitchell said we tend to work out and train together in the off
season I wasn't expecting any other way coming from a person like that Clark and Mitchell hit
5 threes a piece combining to go 10 of 18 as the fever shot 50% from long range and 53 3% overall
when you have two guards that are both making plays it puts the other team in the tough position
of what to take away who to put on who Clark said we're definitely shooting it well we're playing
off each other well we're looking for each other and we're getting downhill too I think it's
been a good balance of everything Clark was coming off a career high 31 points in a win over
fellow Rookie of the Year Contender Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky she set a WNBA record with 19
assists in her first regular season visit to Texas in the game before the Olympic break a 101 to 93
Indiana loss when the fever were on the edge of the playoff picture now Indiana 17-6 is above
0 5 for the first time with Clark and solidly in the playoff mix while the wings 9-23 are still
hoping to recover from a slow start triggered by several key injuries Dallas which won its first
playoff series last year is two games out of the final postseason spot with eight remaining the
fever are 6 to1 since the Olympic break with three of those victories on the road the reward
is six consecutive home games starting Wednesday Against The Last Place Los Angeles Sparks before
the regular season finale at Washington they blid it out there we just keep talking about emptying
our tank Indiana Co coach christe Sid said the confidence that they're playing with I'm proud
