Fever vs Storm produced exactly the kind of statement performance the Indiana Fever needed on the road on Tuesday night, July 28, 2026, as Caitlin Clark poured in 32 points on 64.3% shooting to lead Indiana to a 105-95 win at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle. The victory completed the Fever’s season series sweep over the Storm, improved Indiana to 18-10 on the year, and set a WNBA record for the most 100-point games in a single season, with Tuesday night’s win marking the twelfth time Indiana has reached triple digits in 2026, including four consecutive games. The win was not without a significant concern: starting center Aliyah Boston exited early with an apparent right knee injury and did not return after landing awkwardly in the second quarter.

Caitlin Clark’s Dominant Shooting Night
Clark was at her most efficient on Tuesday, putting together one of her cleaner all-around performances of the 2026 WNBA season. Her 9-of-14 shooting from the field included 4-of-7 from three and a perfect 10-for-10 at the free-throw line, giving her a true shooting percentage of 87.0% for the night. She added 7 assists, a steal, and a block alongside 4 rebounds in a performance that reflected not just scoring but complete floor impact.
Caitlin Clark led the Fever with 32 points, followed by 28 points from Kelsey Mitchell and a double-double from Monique Billings to take the victory. The combination of Clark and Mitchell produced 60 points between them on a combined 18-of-32 shooting, giving Indiana a backcourt punch the Storm had no consistent answer for across four quarters.
Indiana’s offense went perfect from the free-throw line, hitting all 26 attempts, a performance that reflects the Fever’s ability to generate contact and convert under pressure. Clark’s backcourt running mate Kelsey Mitchell also had a strong shooting night, going 9 for 18 from the field to record 28 points.
Sophie Cunningham’s Explosive First Quarter
The opening quarter was where Indiana seized control of the game and never fully let it go. Outscoring the Storm 37-20, the Fever took a 17-point lead in the first quarter, led by 11 points in three minutes from Sophie Cunningham, in addition to nine from Clark and eight from Billings.
Cunningham’s 11-point burst in the opening minutes set the tone before the Clark-Mitchell engine took over. She finished the game with 11 points on 3-of-6 shooting, including 3-of-4 from three, along with 5 rebounds and 6 fast-break points. Her plus-minus of plus-15 was the best on the team, reflecting how thoroughly the Fever controlled their best stretches when she was on the floor.
The First-Quarter Explosion and Second-Half Response
Indiana’s 37-point first quarter was the key passage of the game. The Fever shot at an extraordinary clip in the opening period, overwhelming a Storm team that entered the game carrying a 4-10 home record at Climate Pledge Arena. Seattle regrouped after halftime and outscored Indiana in the second and third quarters combined, cutting what had been a 17-point lead to just 4 entering the fourth. Indiana raced out to a 17-point lead after the first quarter, but Seattle regrouped after halftime and cut the deficit to four entering the fourth. But the Storm’s rally largely stopped in the final period as Indiana improved to 18-10 on the season.
Indiana’s 29-23 advantage in the fourth quarter sealed the result. The Fever’s ability to respond to Seattle’s third-quarter surge with a composed and productive final period reflects the maturity and depth this roster has developed across the season.
Aliyah Boston Injury: The Significant Concern
The win came with a meaningful shadow. Fever star center Aliyah Boston exited early with an apparent knee injury after landing awkwardly. Boston set a screen in the second quarter and rolled toward the basket before getting tangled with Flau’jae Johnson and falling down. Boston landed hard on the court and quickly grabbed her right knee as officials called a foul on the play. She was helped off the floor and later ruled out after initially being listed as questionable to return.
Boston finished with 11 points on 4-of-7 shooting in limited minutes, but her absence for the second half required the rest of Indiana’s roster to absorb additional minutes at the center position. Monique Billings, who delivered a double-double with 14 points and 11 rebounds in a starting role, was the most important contributor filling that void. The extent of Boston’s knee injury will be the defining injury news story for the Fever in the days following Tuesday’s win.
WNBA History: Indiana’s 12th Century Game
The Indiana Fever set WNBA history with their 12th 100+ point scoring game of the season and fourth consecutive of such games. That milestone places this Indiana squad in unique historical company within the league. The Fever have now scored 100 or more points in 12 of their 28 games, a rate that reflects both the pace at which they play and the offensive efficiency Clark and Mitchell generate at the backcourt level.
The four consecutive 100-point games speak to the consistency of Indiana’s offensive output across a particularly productive stretch of the 2026 season. Indiana shot 54.2% from three on Tuesday, one of the cleaner three-point performances of the season, and went a perfect 26-of-26 from the line, turning free throw opportunities into guaranteed points at every turn.
Natisha Hiedeman’s 33-Point Effort Not Enough for Seattle
Seattle’s Natisha Hiedeman produced the best individual performance of any Storm player on the night, finishing with a game-high 33 points on 11-of-20 shooting including 6-of-10 from three. Her output alone nearly matched Indiana’s total from any single quarter of the game, but the Storm’s inability to get consistent contributions alongside Hiedeman made her night a statistical highlight in a losing effort. Natisha Hiedeman led all scorers with 33 for Seattle. Flau’jae Johnson added 16 points, and Awa Fam contributed 11, but the Storm’s 40.5% team shooting from the field compared to Indiana’s 51.6% captures the efficiency gap that ultimately determined the outcome.
What’s Next: Fever vs Portland Fire on Friday
The Fever’s West Coast trip continues Friday with a meeting against the Portland Fire. Indiana will need to monitor Aliyah Boston’s status closely heading into that game, as the Fever’s frontcourt depth was already being tested before Tuesday’s injury. At 18-10, Indiana sits in strong playoff positioning with the second half of the WNBA season approaching.

Broader Implications
Indiana’s season sweep of Seattle is the kind of series result that matters for playoff seeding later in the year, and Tuesday’s road win demonstrates that the Fever’s offensive firepower does not diminish in away environments.
