“If somebody keeps punching you, you’ve got to be able to respond to it,” Sides said, via Athlon Sports. “You’ve gotta give some of that back. And that’s where we are. We’ve got to get to another level of mental toughness.
“We just have to get better. More mentally tough.”
Frustrations grew for the Fever as the team committed 13 turnovers. Fever forward Aliyah Boston and Liberty star Jonquel Jones battled underneath the basket all game long. Indiana also missed crucial shots in the third quarter when the team was getting back into the game.

Indiana shot 36.7% from the floor, including 26.3% from 3-point range.
Clark had nine points, seven rebounds, six assists and three turnovers. She didn’t speak to reporters after the game.
