INDIANAPOLIS (AP) --- Kelsey Mitchell scored 27 points on 9-of-11 shooting,
Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston each had a double-double, and the Indiana Fever
beat the Toronto Tempo 113-91 on Tuesday night for their fourth straight
victory.
Clark finished with 21 points and 14 assists, and Boston had 18 points and 11
rebounds. Sophie Cunningham came off the bench to add a season-high 24 points
with six 3-pointers.
Laura Juskaite led Toronto (7-8) with 19 points and Marina Mabrey added 18.
Maria Conde scored 12, Isabelle Harrison and Brittney Sykes each had 11 and Kia

Indiana (9-5) set a franchise record for points in regulation, shooting 52%
from the field, including 13 of 30 on 3-pointers, and 28 of 33 at the
free-throw line.
Mitchell and Cunningham combined for 21 of Indiana's 32 points in the third
quarter, while Toronto scored just 23. All nine of Cunningham's points in the
frame came on 3-pointers.
Cunningham made Indiana's 10th 3-pointer with 7.4 seconds left in the third for
an 85-73 lead and added another to begin the fourth for a 15-point advantage.
She finished 6 of 7 from 3-point range and Mitchell went 3 for 4.
Sykes was helped off the court in the first half with an apparent leg injury
and did not return. Julie Allemand (headache) was also limited to just 11
minutes. The Tempo were already without Nyara Sabally (hamstring) and Kiki Rice
