Fever roll over Nigeria in preseason matchup as Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston sit out second half
Kelsey Mitchell led the team with 17 points in the 105-57 win, with all of Indiana's starters resting after pulling to a 40-point led in the first half.
The Indiana Fever put up big numbers in the preseason finale on Saturday, defeating the Nigerian national team 105-57 at home. The 48-point win came off the efforts of the entire team. Star starting trio Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell put the Fever in excellent position.
In the second half, with Indiana holding a 41-point lead, head coach Stephanie White opted to sit her starters in order to test the team’s bench. Clark, who had a slight knock during the Fever’s loss to the Dallas Wings on Thursday, seemed just fine in Saturday’s game. Clark put up 12 points and four assistants in the first half of the game.

Mitchell, though, was dominant as always, leading the team with 17 points and going 3-for-3 from beyond the arc.
