The defending WNBA champions, the New York Liberty, visited the Indiana Fever’s Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Saturday. One of the most anticipated games of the year didn’t disappoint. The teams started the contest on a heater halfway through the first quarter, and the Liberty and Fever shot a combined 12 of 20.
The score was 14-13 in Liberty’s favor as their frontcourt stars, Breanna Stewart and Jonquel Jones, scored six points each. Meanwhile, Aliyah Boston matched their score from Indiana’s side. Caitlin Clark led the game in assists with four dimes in the first six minutes alone.
Liberty came out swinging out of the timeout and took a six-point lead, but the Fever stormed back behind their defensive effort to end the quarter with a one-point deficit (30-29).
Clark had seven points and six assists, while Boston scored 10 on 5 of 5 shots. Stewart led the Liberty’s charge with 10 points on 3 of 3 shots, while Jones and Sabrina Ionescu scored eight each.
