Even without Caitlin Clark, Sophie Cunningham, or head coach Stephanie White on the sidelines, the Indiana Fever had no problem handling business Friday night—delivering a 79–52 rout over the Chicago Sky. That’s now two blowout wins over Chicago this season, and this one sent a louder message: this Fever squad has depth, discipline, and dog in them.
🔥 Fever by Committee
Kelsey Mitchell led all scorers with 18 points, but this was far from a one-woman show. Indiana had four players in double figures and knocked down 11 threes as a unit. On defense, they were relentless—swiping 9 steals and forcing 20 turnovers that led to 23 easy points.
From the opening tip, Indiana looked sharper, more focused, and more physical. They built a 30-point lead at one point and never looked back. Without their superstar rookie Clark or their head coach calling plays, the Fever relied on execution and hustle—and it paid off big.
🚨 Trouble in the Windy City
The Sky, meanwhile, looked out of sync from the jump. After back-to-back wins over an injury-depleted Dallas Wings team, Friday was a reality check. No player scored in double digits—Kamilla Cardoso and Rebecca Allen led with just 8 points each. Ball movement was sluggish, and the team struggled to create clean looks.
Even more alarming: Chicago has now lost two games to Indiana by a combined 62 points this season. The defensive breakdowns are glaring, but the offensive stagnation may be the bigger concern. A team with Angel Reese, Marina Mabrey, and a high lottery pick like Cardoso can’t afford this level of inefficiency.
📝 What’s Next
For Indiana, this win pushes them to 4–4 and shows they can compete—and dominate—even without Caitlin Clark lighting up the scoreboard. They’re finding rhythm, finding balance, and showing they’re more than a one-player storyline.
For Chicago? It’s time for soul-searching. The Sky have talent, but the chemistry hasn’t clicked, and the effort just isn’t matching the moment. They’ll need a reset if they want to stay relevant in the East.
Final Score: Fever 79, Sky 52
