The Indiana Fever could further a historic streak when they visit the Portland Fire on Friday, July 31, at the Moda Center (10 p.m. ET).
Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell combined for 60 points to lead the Fever to a 109-95 win over the Seattle Storm on Tuesday, marking the team’s fourth straight 100-plus point game of the season. No other team in WNBA history has accomplished that feat. Mitchell, the No. 2 scorer in the league, leads the Fever with 23.5 points per game. Clark is averaging 21.5 points per game and a team-high 7.9 assists per game, which also ranks second in the WNBA.
The Fire are looking to snap a three-game losing streak, most recently taking a 98-83 loss to the reigning league champion Las Vegas Aces on Tuesday. Former Aces forward Megan DiLeo scored 20 points in the defeat. Carla Leite leads the team with 15.2 points per game.
