UNCASVILLE, Conn. — Alyssa Thomas had 19 points and 13 assists to help the Connecticut Sun sweep Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever out of the playoffs with an 87-81 win Wednesday night.
The third-seeded Sun will now face either Minnesota or Phoenix in the semifinals which begin Sunday. Clark played much better in Game 2 than she did in her postseason debut last Sunday.
The AP Rookie of the Year finished with 25 points and nine assists, but it wasn't enough. Aliyah Boston added 16 points and 19 rebounds.
Boston's layup with 2:05 left gave Indiana a 77-75 advantage but DeWanna Bonner, who was playing in her WNBA record matching 82nd playoff game to match Lindsay Whalen, answered with a 3-pointer 14 seconds later.
