**Fever Beat Wings Despite Clark’s Absence, Bueckers Shines in Dallas**

**DALLAS** – The Indiana Fever continued their winning streak Friday night, defeating the Dallas Wings 88-78 at the American Airlines Center. The Fever secured their season-high fourth consecutive victory despite the continued absence of star rookie Caitlin Clark.

Kelsey Mitchell led the Fever with 23 points, while Aliyah Boston (12 points, 11 rebounds) and Natasha Howard (11 points, 16 rebounds) both recorded double-doubles. Aari McDonald added 12 points for Indiana, which improved to 16-12 and 8-7 without Clark.

The game, moved to the larger venue in anticipation of a Clark-Paige Bueckers matchup, drew a crowd of 17,857, the second-highest in Dallas Wings history. While Clark remained sidelined, Bueckers delivered a strong performance with 22 points, extending her WNBA record for consecutive double-figure scoring games to start a career to 23.

Bueckers’ performance was a bright spot for the Wings, who struggled to find consistent offense. Arike Ogunbowale had only eight points and did not play in the fourth quarter. No other Dallas player reached double figures.

The Fever capitalized on a strong rebounding advantage (plus-14 overall, plus-10 on the offensive end) and hit 12 three-pointers, compared to the Wings’ 2 for 15 performance from beyond the arc. A 9-0 run in the second quarter helped Indiana create separation, leading to a comfortable victory despite committing a season-high tying 19 turnovers.
