The Indiana Fever and star rookie Caitlin Clark are beginning to hit their stride after a challenging start to the season. The Fever (6-10) secured their third consecutive win and fourth in the last five games by defeating the Washington Mystics (2-12), the league’s lowest-ranked team, with a final score of 88-81. This winning streak is a positive sign for the team as they adapt to a winning mentality.

A few weeks ago, it seemed like Clark and the Fever couldn’t find the formula for success, but things are starting to change. The team overall performed exceptionally well, with the standout performances of the “big three” driving the victory. All three played over 35 minutes, and Caitlin Clark had a record night with 12 rebounds. Both Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell contributed significantly, scoring 22 points each.

In addition to her 12 rebounds, Clark also scored 18 points and provided six assists while shooting 50% from the field. However, turnovers remain an issue; Clark leads the league with 5.5 turnovers per game and had six in this match. Addressing this aspect will be crucial for minimizing offensive giveaways to opponents. Outside of this, Clark is rapidly showing maturity and is on track to win the Rookie of the Year award.

The Fever’s next game is on Friday at 6:30 PM ET against a tough Atlanta Dream team (6-6). Clark’s team has the chance to achieve four consecutive wins, a feat she was quite accustomed to during her college career at Iowa, where winning streaks were more common. This development is a promising sign for the Fever as they continue to build momentum and strive for more consistent performances throughout the season.
