Indiana Fever Fall 86-66 to Minnesota Lynx, Clark’s Career‑Worst Night

In the Fever’s regular‑season finale, the Minnesota Lynx outplayed Indiana 86‑66, ending the Fever’s hopes of a favorable playoff matchup. Caitlin Clark, who had been a key factor in the Fever’s earlier win, was held to just two points on 1‑of‑12 shooting in 18 minutes, missing the chance to become the first WNBA player to reach 900 points and 300 assists in a season. The loss drops the Fever into a first‑round tie with the defending champion Las Vegas Aces, rather than a potential matchup with the Atlanta Dream. Despite the defeat, Kelsey Mitchell broke the WNBA single‑season three‑pointer record with her 135th shot, and the Fever finished 28‑15. The postseason begins Sunday.
