The Fever closed out a 3-2 trip with their third game in four
nights. They had dropped two in a row.
Natasha Cloud had 16 points and seven assists for Chicago, which
had won three in a row. Azura Stevens added 14 points and eight
rebounds.
The Sky were eliminated from the playoff race with the loss and
Washington's win on Sunday night.
Indiana played without center Aliyah Boston, who was sidelined
by a right leg injury. Boston had 22 points and six assists in
Saturday's 109-102 loss at New York.
The Fever used a 13-2 run to open a 71-60 lead in the third
quarter. Clark started the spurt with a 3 and Mitchell scored
eight straight points before Clark capped the run with a jumper
with 4:31 left.
Lexie Hull converted a reverse layup to make it 97-82 with 4:37
left. Hull scored 14 points for the Fever, and Makayla Timpson
finished with 12.
It was the first game between the teams since Indiana guard
Sophie Cunningham was taken down by DiJonai Carrington on a hard
foul in the first quarter of the Fever's 90-86 win on Aug. 8.
Cunningham scored three points while playing more than 11
minutes, and Carrington had seven points in 18 minutes for the
Sky.
Former NBA center Enes Kanter Freedom attended the game, but he
was ejected in the third quarter after he was confronted by
Cloud. Freedom and Royce White, another former NBA player, have
declared themselves eligible for the WNBA draft, saying they
identify as women.
