After a sensational return to action over the weekend, Caitlin Clark once again suited up to help steer the Indiana Fever to victory in the 2025 WNBA Commissioner's Cup. On Tuesday, the Fever hosted the Connecticut Sun, a team that defeated them earlier this season.
Heading into this game, Indiana held a 3-1 record in the Commissioner's Cup while Connecticut had gone just 1-3. A win tonight at Gainbridge Fieldhouse would allow the Fever to clinch a spot in the in-season tournament's championship game, while also avenging an 85-83 loss that they absorbed on May 30.
To the delight of Fever fans, their team got payback by pulling off an 88-71 victory to book a trip to the Commissioner's Cup finals and improve their overall win-loss record to 6-5. Clark led the charge with 20 points, six assists, one rebound, and two steals.
It took some time for CC to unleash her arsenal in this game. She finished the first quarter with just three points on 1-for-3 shooting from the field, along with two assists.
Then, in the second quarter, Clark picked up her scoring by converting on two triples, a reverse layup, and a technical free throw. At the same time, the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year continued to set up teammates like Kelsey Mitchell and Damiris Dantas for scoring opportunities. After the first 20 minutes of action, Clark's stat line was 12 points, 5 assists, one rebound, and two steals.
With CC getting more buckets in the second half and her teammates shooting efficiently from the field, the Fever went on to blow the game wide open. Clark finished with a 50% shooting clip, including four made threes out of six attempts from deep.
