The WNBA playoffs have been confirmed. The No. 3 Connecticut Sun will meet the No. 6 Indiana Fever on the road. Since the WNBA resumed play in August after its summer vacation for the Olympics, Indiana has had great success. They won seven of the first eight games they played in the second half of the season, but they have also dropped three of their last four matches.
Caitlin Clark and the Fever have improved over the last few weeks despite their recent dip. They have formed one of the finest big threes in the league with Clark, Aliyah Boston, and Kelsey Mitchell and have benefited greatly from players like Lexie Hull and Damiris Dantas. Stephanie White, the Sun’s coach, seems to concur. She recently made a comment on the Fever, praising their offensive and noting how well the group has gelled.
White exclaimed, “They’re playing incredibly well.” They are playing incredibly self-assured basketball. They’re having fun playing together. It will be a difficult matchup. That team is too strong to outscore.” With an average of 19.2 points, 8.4 assists, and 5.7 rebounds, Clark led the group. She led the Fever in average assists and was tied with Kelsey Mitchell for the team’s average points.
At the conclusion of her second league season, Boston averaged 14.0 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 3.2 assists. In addition to ranking first on Indiana’s squad in blocks per game, she topped the Fever in average rebounding.
