Mystics Edge Fever in OT After Clark’s Buzzer-Beater Forces Extra Time

The result sharpened questions about Indiana's defense.

Overview

  • Washington beat Indiana 104-102 in overtime on Friday in Indianapolis after Caitlin Clark tied the game with a 3-pointer with 1.7 seconds left in regulation.
  • Sonia Citron led the Mystics with a career-high 30 points and delivered key buckets in overtime to help secure the road win.
  • The Mystics controlled the inside by shooting 56 percent and winning the paint 48-28, with Kiki Iriafen posting 25 points and 13 rebounds.
  • Clark finished with 32 points and seven made threes, including 17 in the fourth quarter, but Indiana missed late chances in OT, including two free throws by Kelsey Mitchell.
  • Fever center Aliyah Boston exited late in the third quarter with a lower-leg injury and did not return, and Clark later said the team’s focus on defense must hold even when shots are not falling.
