Indiana Fever Put on a SHOW in 35-Point Opening Day Win Over Chicago Sky

Indiana Fever Dominate Chicago Sky in Stunning 35-Point Season Opener Victory

The Indiana Fever kicked off their WNBA season in spectacular fashion, delivering a commanding 91-56 victory over the Chicago Sky. Led by a stellar performance from Caitlin Clark, who flirted with a triple-double, and a dominant showing from Aaliyah Boston, the Fever showcased their offensive firepower and defensive intensity from start to finish.

Clark Shines in WNBA Debut

Rookie sensation Caitlin Clark wasted no time making her presence felt, draining the first logo three-pointer of the season and finishing with 20 points, 10 assists, and 9 rebounds, just shy of a historic debut triple-double. Her court vision was on full display, threading pinpoint passes, including a “delectable dime” to Natasha Howard for an easy layup.

Clark backcourt partner, Kelsey Mitchell, added 15 points, including key three-pointers, while veteran Howard contributed 14 points and strong interior play.

Boston Anchors Both Ends of the Floor

Aaliyah Boston was a force in the paint, posting 19 points, 13 rebounds, and 5 blocks while shooting an efficient 8-of-12 from the field. Her footwork and positioning overwhelmed Chicago’s frontline, including highly touted rookie Kamilla Cardoso, who struggled to contain her.

Defensively, the Fever suffocated the Sky, forcing 15 turnovers and holding them to just 36% shooting. Boston’s five blocks set the tone, including multiple rejections on Angel Reese, who had a tough debut with 8 points on 3-of-10 shooting.

Sky Struggle Offensively

Chicago’s offense sputtered, with only Marina Mabrey (12 points) and Dana Evans (10 points) reaching double figures. Reese, the No. 2 overall pick, showed flashes but was largely contained by Boston’s physicality.
