The Indiana Fever took care of business on Tuesday, defeating the Seattle Storm 105-95. It was their fourth consecutive win and pushed their season record to 18-10.

Caitlin Clark was the catalyst for the team, amassing 32 points on 9-of-14 shooting. She added four rebounds, seven assists and four three-pointers. Kelsey Mitchell stayed hot with 28 points on 11-of-20 shooting, while Monique Billings stepped up with 14 points and 11 rebounds.

However, the win came at a high cost. Aliyah Boston exited the game in the second quarter after hurting her right leg. She got entangled with Storm rookie Flau’jae Johnson off a pick-and-roll and hit her leg hard on the floor. The four-time All-Star didn’t return and only saw 11 minutes of action. She finished with 11 points and two rebounds.

Indiana Fever forward Aliyah Boston (7) holds the ball while Las Vegas Aces center A’ja Wilson (22) defends.
