It was a four-game night for the WNBA and we were fine with that as Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever took on Washington, Seattle played at Las Vegas, Dallas played at Los Angeles and Minnesota played at Phoenix. Here is a recap of all four games.
PHOENIX 81 MINNESOTA 80
PHOENIX—- What a game this was as Brittney Griner made her season debut for the Mercury after being out their first ten games with a fractured toe. Kahleah Copper put up 34 points with six rebounds and hit the game-winning three-pointer to take down the Minnesota Lynx, 81-80. The attendance was 9,052 for this contest in Phoenix
LOS ANGELES 81 DALLAS 72
LOS ANGELES— Coming into the fourth down by two points, the Sparks outscored the Wings, 20-9 in the fourth quarter to pull out a nine-point victory over Dallas, who have lost four games in a row. Dearica Hamby had 22 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists for the Sparks while Arike Ogunbowale and Maddy Siegrist combined for 43 points for the Wings in the loss. The attendance was 10,123 for this game in Los Angeles.
SEATTLE 78 LAS VEGAS 65
LAS VEGAS— The storm really dominated from the start and held off the Las Vegas Aces for a 78-65 win on the road for Seattle. Jewell Loyd scored 25 points and tallied 10 rebounds and Skylar Diggins-Smith scored 21 points with 19 of those coming in the second half. The attendance was 10,180 for this game in Las Vegas.
INDIANA 85 WASHINGTON 83
WASHINGTON — — Caitlin Clark put on a show in front of one of the largest crowds in WNBA history.
Clark made seven 3-pointers, equaled a career high with 30 points and converted enough of her free throws down the stretch to help the Indiana Fever hold on for an 85-83 victory over the winless Washington Mystics on Friday night.
“It felt good to shoot the ball well,” Clark said. “I feel like even my misses were right there.”
With fan interest in Clark still surging, the Mystics hosted this game at Capital One Arena instead of the smaller venue where they usually play at home. It was a sellout of 20,333 — the league’s largest attendance for a game since 2007, according to acrossthetimeline.com.
