Caitlin Clark proves there's no NBA 2K27 cover curse as Fever set franchise scoring record
The Indiana Fever continue their dominant run on the court. On Wednesday, the team secured a 123-88 victory over the Connecticut Sun. This performance marked the third-highest scoring game in WNBA history that did not require overtime, setting a new franchise record for the Fever.
Caitlin Clark led the charge with 27 points and 11 assists, recording another double-double in the win. Her performance arrives the same day she was officially announced as the cover athlete for NBA 2K27, effectively dismissing any talk of a cover athlete curse. Kelsey Mitchell also contributed 23 points, while Aliyah Boston added 22 points to the total.
The Fever established control early, finishing the first half with a massive 70-46 lead. The team successfully converted 11 of 22 shots from three-point range during the contest. Monique Billings and Tyasha Harris also reached double figures with 12 points each.
With this result, the Fever improve to a 17-10 record. They now head into the All-Star break holding the top spot in the Eastern Conference standings, sitting half a game ahead of the Atlanta Dream. The team now turns its focus to All-Star weekend in Chicago, where Clark, Boston, and Mitchell will represent Indiana.
