The streak has ended, folks! Caitlin Clark’s impressive double-double run is over, but she’s still the hero we all needed as the Fever bagged back-to-back victories just before the All-Star and Olympic break. While Clark couldn’t quite replicate Angel Reese’s legendary 15-game double-double streak, she and the Fever executed a thrilling comeback to defeat the Lynx 81-74 on their own turf.
The Fever decided to give Minnesota a taste of their own medicine, outscoring them 28-14 in the final quarter. Clark’s dazzling passes and her ankle-breaking crossover had fans on the edge of their seats. Yes, she struggled a bit with her shooting and ball handling, but she still managed to rack up 17 points, six assists, three rebounds, and two steals, turning a seven-point deficit into a triumphant victory.
Indiana’s surprise win handed the Lynx a rare home loss, dropping their record to 16-8 and 10-3 at home. Meanwhile, the Fever improved to 11-14, with just one game left before the break. The dynamic duo of Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell were also on fire, with Boston racking up 17 points, 16 rebounds, and four blocks, while Mitchell led the charge with 21 points. Together, the All-Star trio accounted for 55 of Indiana’s 81 points.
