Sparks defeat Fever 88-82

On Tuesday night, the Los Angeles Sparks won 88-82 against the Indiana Fever in a game dominated by Kia Nurse with 22 points, Aari McDonald with 21 points and four assists and Dearica Hamby with 17 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists in the win.

It was Caitlin Clark's most impressive performance of the season. She had a season-high 30 points, six assists, five rebounds, three blocks, and three steals. In addition, she made three three-pointers during the game. Aside from Kelsey Mitchell's 15 points, Aliyah Boston also contributed 17 points and six rebounds for the Fever. This was despite being in foul trouble. There were 16,013 people in attendance, which was a near-sellout crowd.

The game featured three of the top four picks in last month's WNBA draft, Clark, Cameron Brink and Rickea Jackson. Brink finished with three points, three rebounds and two assists and Jackson scored 12 points. After a 55-48 deficit in the third quarter, Los Angeles took off on a 28-8 run to take a 76-63 lead heading into the fourth quarter and the Fever never recovered.

Clark and her teammates failed to recreate the victory that Indiana achieved last weekend at Los Angeles, the only victory of the season for Indiana.

As part of a three-game road trip, the Sparks will visit Chicago on Thursday, the second stop along the way. The Fever will play their second home game in a row on Thursday, when they face the Seattle Storm
