Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell each scored 34 points, becoming only the fourth duo in WNBA history to achieve this feat. Clark added 12 assists, tying her for the fifth time this season with at least 30 points and 10 assists. Mitchell hit his 24th consecutive game with 20 points, extending his streak. Indiana has won seven of their last nine games as they head to Berlin for the FIBA Women’s World Cup. The Fever began the first quarter with a 10-0 run and continued to dominate, trailing only by 14 points early in the second quarter before extending their lead to 58-43. Following a 18-2 run in the first half, Indiana increased their lead to 76-57. Mitchell then recorded his 911th assist in the third quarter, surpassing assistant coach Briann January's record. The Fever honored the late Dolly Parton with a dance routine during the break. The Sun, who have lost six of their last eight games, will next play in Dallas on Sunday. The Fever will return to action on September 18 in Toronto.",
