The Fever Are Good Enough To Get Under Your Skin

What does the perfect Indiana Fever game look like? Corner any member of the organization to demand an answer to that question, and they would probably describe something like Tuesday's 99-89 victory over the Las Vegas Aces.

In Caitlin Clark they have a defense-breaking shooter who also just so happens to be one of the league's best playmakers and pace-setters.
