The Indiana Fever delivered an offensive masterclass on Tuesday night, defeating the Toronto Tempo 113-91 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The victory extended the Fever's winning streak to four games, improving their record to 9-5, and set a franchise record for most points scored in a regulation game. Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham were instrumental in the win, contributing 21 and 24 points, respectively.
Dominant Team Performance
The Fever's balanced attack overwhelmed Toronto, particularly in the second half. Kelsey Mitchell led all scorers with 27 points, while Aliyah Boston recorded a double-double with 18 points and 11 rebounds. However, it was Clark's playmaking and Cunningham's sharpshooting that highlighted Indiana's most complete performance of the season.
Caitlin Clark's All-Around Impact
Caitlin Clark finished with 21 points, 14 assists, and five rebounds in 32 minutes, earning her 22nd career double-double. Despite struggling from three-point range (1-for-8) and shooting 5-for-15 overall, she consistently created scoring chances for her teammates. Her season-high 14 assists helped the Fever tally 25 team assists and maintain offensive fluidity. A standout moment came in the third quarter when Clark threaded a behind-the-back pass through traffic to Makayla Timpson for an easy basket, showcasing her elite court vision.
Sophie Cunningham's Scoring Burst
Sophie Cunningham delivered her best scoring performance of the season, coming off the bench to record 24 points and seven rebounds. She shot an efficient 8-for-11 from the field and connected on 6-of-7 three-point attempts. Her timely shooting repeatedly halted Toronto's rallies, including a buzzer-beating three-pointer to end the first quarter and another late triple that pushed Indiana's lead into double digits in the second half. This performance followed an 11-point burst late in Indiana's previous win over the Connecticut Sun.
Injury Update
The Fever faced an early scare when veteran forward Myisha Hines-Allen exited after being struck in the face while attempting a layup. She left the floor after just 21 seconds and was initially listed as questionable to return with a facial injury. However, she rejoined the bench after halftime and returned to action midway through the third quarter, avoiding a more serious setback.

Indiana will look to extend its winning streak with a busy schedule ahead:
