From just in front of the logo on the left wing, Clark's shot
hit nothing but net. After Washington advanced the ball to
midcourt, Aliyah Boston broke up the inbound pass and the Fever
held on.
Clark finished with 19 points. She scored 10 in the first
quarter, and although she picked up her third foul in the
second, Indiana made it to halftime with a 43-29 lead. A
four-point play by Clark pushed the advantage to 17 in the
third.
Washington, which lost second-year standout Kiki Iriafen to a
sprained ankle, battled back and led 74-73 after a layup by
Shakira Austin. Then Clark missed two free throws with 36
seconds to play, but after a turnover by Austin, Clark found
Kelsey Mitchell in transition for a layup that gave the Fever a
one-point lead with 11.3 to go.
Citron received a pass cutting to the basket and drew a foul to
put Washington ahead, but Clark made the most of her last shot.
Mitchell scored 15 points for the Fever and Boston added 14.
Michaela Onyenwere led the Mystics with 17.
It was Clark's second big last-second shot against the Mystics
this season. Her 3-pointer with 1.7 seconds left forced overtime
last month, but Washington went on to win 104-102.
This game wasn't nearly as high-scoring. Clark wasn't called for
any more fouls after her third, but three Indiana players and
two from Washington finished with five.
