Mercury Outlast Fever Without Clark

The Phoenix Mercury stunned the Indiana Fever with a gritty 111-109 win, fueled by Kahleah Copper’s scorching 28-point performance and clutch free throws. Caitlin Clark, who exited with a back injury after scoring 19 and dishing 8 assists, couldn’t stop Indiana’s momentum — but the Mercury’s depth, led by Valeriane Ayayi’s career-high 19 and rookie Noemie Brochant’s 12-9 line, stepped up when it mattered most. A late flagrant foul on Aliyah Boston gave Phoenix the edge, even as Kelsey Mitchell lit up the scoreboard with 30 points and 7 threes. With Clark sidelined, the Fever’s next test looms — and the Mercury are ready to keep rolling. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
