The Indiana Fever will aim to extend their winning streak to a season-high five games on Wednesday night when they open a six-game homestand against the Los Angeles Sparks in Indianapolis.
The Fever (17-16), who previously won four in a row from June 13-21, increased their current winning streak to four games after posting back-to-back 100-point performances.
Kelsey Mitchell scored a season-high 36 points, and star rookie Caitlin Clark recorded 28 points and 12 assists in Indiana’s 100-93 victory over the Dallas Wings on Sunday. Mitchell and Clark each hit five 3-pointers for the Fever, who shot a robust 50 percent from beyond the arc.
The triumph followed Indiana’s 100-81 win over the Chicago Sky on Friday.
Mitchell scored 18 points in Indiana’s 78-73 victory in Los Angeles on May 24 before the Sparks countered four days later by overcoming a 30-point effort from Clark in an 88-82 victory in Indianapolis.
Dearica Hamby scored 18 and 17 points, respectively, in those two games for Los Angeles (7-25), but she was limited to five in an 80-62 setback to the visiting Atlanta Dream on Sunday.
Sparks rookie Rickea Jackson contributed 13 points, marking her 10th straight double-digit scoring performance.
The Sparks have lost four in a row on the road and 14 of 16 away from home this season.
