Clark added 12 assists, marking the fifth time this year she's
had a double-double with at least 30 and 10.
Mitchell notched her 24th straight 20-point game in the Fever's
final game before a three-week break for the FIBA Women's World
Cup. Indiana has won seven of nine as Clark, Aliyah Boston, and
coach Stephanie White head to Berlin for the tournament. Boston
scored 14 points.
Diamond Miller finished with 19 points and Nell Angloma had 17
to lead Connecticut, who have lost six of their last eight
games.
Indiana went on a 10-0 run to end the first quarter and start
the second, nearly erasing all of a 28-14 deficit. Clark and
Mitchell then combined for the first 12 points in an 18-2 run to
close the first half, giving the Fever 58-43 lead.
After Connecticut cut the deficit to 62-52 midway through the
third quarter, Indiana answered with a 14-5 run that extended
the margin to 76-57. The Sun never recovered.
During the third quarter, Mitchell dished her 911th assist,
moving past current Fever assistant coach Briann January her
into second on Indiana's all-time leaders.
The Fever paid tribute to the late Dolly Parton with a dance
routine to the song “9 to 5” between the third and fourth
quarters.
