Clark’s NBA 2K27 Honor Proves Curse-Free as Fever Demolish Sun, Set Scoring Mark

The Indiana Fever extended their winning streak to three games Wednesday, overwhelming the Connecticut Sun 123-88 in dominant fashion. The rout came mere hours after star guard Caitlin Clark was announced as the cover athlete for NBA 2K27, putting speculation about any potential curse to rest immediately.

Clark paced Indiana’s offensive onslaught with 27 points and 11 assists, recording yet another double-double in the process. Kelsey Mitchell contributed 22 points off the bench, while forward Aliyah Boston, the 2023 WNBA Draft’s top overall selection, added 22 points of her own.

The Fever’s performance produced a franchise record for total points in a single game, with the team also setting a new mark for points in a half when they led 70-46 at intermission. Clark herself posted 21 points before the break, establishing the team’s dominant trajectory from the opening tip.

Indiana connected on 11 of 22 three-point attempts, with role players Monique Billings and Tyasha Harris combining for 24 points. The victory improved the Fever’s record to 17-10 heading into the All-Star break, positioning them atop the Eastern Conference by half a game over Atlanta’s Angel Reese.

Clark, Boston and Mitchell will represent Indiana at All-Star weekend in Chicago, marking a significant showing for the franchise in the league’s mid-season showcase.
