Indiana Fever vs Washington Mystics game summary

Heading into today's preseason showdown between the Fever and the Mystics, fans were hopeful that reigning Rookie of the Year Caitlin Clark would play despite the young star being listed as questionable on the team's injury report.

Ultimately, Clark wound up being sidelined for Saturday's game, with the Fever going down to the Mystics early.

Thanks to some impressive play from Brittney Sykes, Washington closed out the first quarter with a 24-13 lead. In the second, however, newly acquired guard Sophie Cunningham began to find her rhythm offensively, logging 12 points as Indiana closed out the half down just three, with the score 38-35.

Coming out of the half, the Fever kept the momentum rolling, with the team outscoring the Mystics 19-13 through the third thanks to some impressive defensive stretches.

In the fourth, however, Indiana seemed to lose momentum, with Washington's offense coming alive, tying the game up at 71-71 and forcing overtime.

There, the Fever were able to pull away thanks to some impressive two-way play, holding the Mystics to just three points en route to a 79-74 win.
