Game Analysis

Indiana’s three-point efficiency was the defining factor in the result. The Fever made 18 of 33 attempts from deep, good for 54.5%, while Chicago made four of 21 for 19.0%. That contrast gave Indiana a major scoring advantage even though the Sky made five more free throws and held a slight edge in total rebounds.

The Fever also shot 53.2% overall, making 42 of 79 field-goal attempts. Chicago was efficient inside the arc and finished at 50.7% from the field, but its lack of perimeter production made it difficult to keep pace once Indiana found another gear after halftime.

Both teams recorded 26 assists, underscoring that each offense generated movement and shared opportunities. Indiana, however, attempted 10 more field goals and converted a significantly larger share of its three-point looks. Clark’s 37-point, 10-assist performance provided the Fever with the consistent scoring and creation needed to turn the close first half into a comfortable finish.

The win lifted Indiana to 25-14, including a 12-8 road record, while Chicago dropped to 15-23 and 10-10 at home.
