New York at Indiana highlights: Caitlin Clark, Fever handed big loss in first home game
INDIANAPOLIS — Caitlin Clark and the up-and-coming Indiana Fever were no match for the New York Liiberty and reigning MVP Breanna Stewart on Thursday.
The Liberty routed the Fever 102-66 in Gainbridge Fieldhouse in downtown Indianapolis, spoiling Clark’s first regular-season at home. Scoring was hard to come by for Clark, who finished with nine points (2-8 FG, 1-7 3PT, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds and 6 assists on the night. The No. 1 pick in April’s draft found herself in foul trouble early, and racked up five fouls and three turnovers.
“We knew this atmosphere was going to be wild and … we have that experience,” Stewart said postgame, adding that the Liberty “made it really difficult for (Clark) tonight. We had an awareness of where she was and we followed the game plan.”
Stewart recorded a double-double — 31 points, 10 rebounds and four assists — and Sabrina Ionescu added 14 points and seven rebounds. Fever’s Aliyah Boston had a team-high 12 points, 7 rebounds and two assists.
Final: Liberty 102, Fever 66
The Fever was dominated wire-to-wire by the Liberty, but the fourth quarter was extra ugly. New York outscored Indiana 35-10 in the fourth quarter of the game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Thursday. The final dagger of the night came when New York’s Ivana Dojkic knocked down a 27-foot three pointer with 11.1 seconds remaining in the game to go up 36 over the Fever.
