Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell Help Fever Keep Home-Court Hope Alive with 96-77 Win over Lynx
Caitlin Clark averages 22.7 points and 8.4 assists as Indiana seeks a playoff edge in its final home game.
The Indiana Fever defeated the Minnesota Lynx 96-77 on Tuesday, September 22, 2026, at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, keeping their hopes alive for the No. 4 playoff seed.
Minnesota standout rookie Olivia Miles missed the game due to a left calf injury, while Fever coach Stephanie White noted the lineup change 'changes coverage' and offensive actions for both teams.
Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark led with 27 points, nine assists, and seven rebounds; Fever center Aliyah Boston added 17 points as Indiana led by as much as 29 points in the first half.
Lynx reserves outscored Indiana 30-14 in the third quarter, sparking a rally that cut the deficit to seven points, though Fever guard Lexie Hull noted the team must 'try to not do it ever again.'
Both teams meet again Thursday in their regular-season finale; the Lynx hold a 0.5-game lead over Golden State Valkyries for the WNBA's top record while Indiana seeks to secure playoff positioning.
