Summary
Indiana's 108-88 win over New York lifted the Fever to 16-10 and into first place in the Eastern Conference despite an eventful night for Caitlin Clark.
Clark drew her sixth technical foul just 90 seconds in after crashing into a hard Jonquel Jones screen and arguing the no-call, putting her two technicals from an automatic one-game suspension and triggering a $1,000 fine.
Breanna Stewart later appeared to hit Clark in the face on a defensive play near the basket, but officials called no foul and did not review it for a flagrant, fueling social media criticism of WNBA officiating.
Kelsey Mitchell's 33 points led Indiana's comeback from a 13-point first-half deficit, while Clark added 17 points and seven assists as the Fever pulled away after halftime.
Clark was not made available after the game, while coach Stephanie White said the team needed to be strategic with technical fouls as Indiana heads into Wednesday's game against Connecticut.
