  • Caitlin Clark played 31 minutes and posted 17 points, eight assists, seven rebounds and one block after vomiting at halftime and returning to the game.
  • The Fever tightened up on defense, holding Atlanta to about 34 percent shooting, forcing 11 turnovers and building a decisive 16-3 third-quarter run.
