Overview
- Las Vegas mounted a comeback from a 20-point deficit to beat Indiana 86-84 after Chelsea Gray hit a tying 3 at the end of regulation and a buzzer-beating 3 in overtime on Thursday.
- Caitlin Clark missed two free throws with seven seconds left in regulation and committed the overtime turnover that led to Gray’s final shot, and she publicly accepted responsibility for those mistakes.
- Fever coach Stephanie White pointed to the team’s turnover problem, saying Indiana gave Las Vegas extra possessions and surrendered momentum with roughly 21 to 22 turnovers that cost the team points.
- A sideline incident that briefly halted play prompted an Indiana Fever PR statement saying security interviewed the fan and witnesses, found no code violation, and that the fan chose to leave.
- Indiana rebounded with a 90-86 win at Chicago on Saturday but Clark was assessed an eighth technical foul that the WNBA can rescind; if it stands she would face a one-game suspension that could affect the Fever’s upcoming stretch and playoff seeding.
