The Indiana Fever have turned things around since starting the season 1-8 with rookie phenom Caitlin Clark, and they finally figured out how to beat the Seattle Storm.

Kelsey Mitchell, Clark and Lexie Hull combined for 72 points and Indiana pulled away in the fourth quarter for a 92-75 victory over the Storm on Sunday afternoon in Indianapolis.

Indiana (13-15) was 0-3 against Seattle (17-10) entering the game, but salvaged the final game of the season series by outscoring Seattle 33-17 in the fourth quarter.

With a few seconds left in the game, Storm coach Noelle Quinn started jawing with Fever coach Christie Sides and the two had to be separated.

Quinn downplayed the incident afterward.

“We were just having a spirited conversation about gamesmanship,” Quinn said. “That’s it.”

It was the Storm’s second straight loss after returning from a one-month break for the Olympics, and the second straight game that their defense faltered in the second half.

After giving up 54 second-half points in a loss to Atlanta on Friday, the Storm gave up 57 points in the second half to Indiana.

“We have to address our defensive presence, awareness, physicality, all of those things,” Quinn said.

Indiana led by a point entering the final period, then took a 75-65 lead midway through the fourth quarter after a 7-1 run, causing the Storm to call a timeout.

Seattle responded with four straight points, but Hull countered with two straight three-pointers — giving her four in the period — to give Indiana an 81-69 lead with 4:01 left.

The Storm once again called a timeout. This time, it didn’t stop the momentum at all.

Indiana made eight of its first nine three-point shots in the fourth quarter and made 15 of 31 for the game.

The game started well enough for the Storm. They took a 17-13 lead after one quarter, getting late three-pointers from Sami Whitcomb and Jewell Loyd after Indiana had taken its first lead at 13-11.

Indiana took a 35-34 halftime lead behind Mitchell’s 11 first-half points and 10 off the bench from Hull. Clark had eight points, two rebounds and two assists in the first half but was 0 for 5 from three-point range.

Nneka Ogwumike had 12 points, three rebounds and three assists in the first half for the Storm, who shot 37.1% from the field in the half (13 of 35) but 41.7% from three-point range (5 of 12).

Indiana led 59-58 after an entertaining, back-and-forth third quarter. The game seemed destined for an exciting finish, but instead the Fever turned it into a rout.

Mitchell had 27 points for Indiana, Clark had 23 points, nine assists and five rebounds, and Hull had 22 points off the bench and was 6 of 7 from three-point range.

Clark set the WNBA’s rookie record for assists in a season, breaking Ticha Penicheiro’s record of 224. Clark finished the game at 232 assists for the season.

Loyd led the Storm with 26 points.

The Storm had won eight of 10 games heading into the Olympic break. They will try to salvage one win in this three-game trip when they play at the Washington Mystics on Tuesday.

“This is our second game back after the break and prior to the break we had found some momentum,” Quinn said. “So it’s about getting back to that form. I thought that it would happen overnight for us.”

Said Ogwumike: “We’ve got to play a game on Tuesday. So that’s what we’re thinking about. We’re thinking about getting some rest right now and coming home with at least one win on this road trip.”
