Clark brought the Fever back with her 3-pointer, putting the team ahead 71-70 with 3:59 left. The teams traded baskets until Bonner made a 3-pointer.

Indiana started fast, leading 14-6 before the Sun scored the final 11 points of the first quarter to take a three-point lead. With 1:29 left in the quarter, Clark called a fan sitting in the second row to an official after a foul, who called security and had the person escorted to the back. The fan later returned and there were no further incidents.

The run continued from the second half when Connecticut took a 26-16 lead on Carrington’s layup with 7:32 left in the half. The Sun led 41-34 at halftime. Carrington was honored as the league’s Most Improved Player before the game.

On the final play of the half, Erica Wheeler went for a layup to beat the buzzer and flew into the courtside photographers. She was on the floor for a few minutes before getting up and walking back to the locker room. Her left thumb was checked and she did not return for the second half.

Clark finished the first half with 14 points, four rebounds and four assists.

The Sun were without starting guard Tyasha Harris, who injured her ankle in Sunday’s win, with Mabrey starting in her place.
