INDIANAPOLIS – The most critical commonality for the Minnesota Lynx and Indiana Fever, as of Tuesday, was each other. The teams will meet in two straight games to end the WNBA regular season. The same faces effectively will decide each other’s postseason fates over at least 80 minutes. As pure theater, Tuesday’s meeting had promise. Their only previous meeting in early August featured 208 combined points and became the second-most-watched WNBA regular-season game ever. “That was one of the best

But as the season moves forward and the postseason gets closer, there is one concerning reality around Boston that head coach Stephanie White has made clear needs to be addressed if the team aims to win the championship.

The Lynx went into the second-to-last game of the season against the Fever with a chance to wrap up the No. 1 playoff seed, but coach Cheryl Reeve didn't play her normal starters a single minute of the second half.

Caitlin Clark had 27 points, nine assists and seven rebounds, and Kelsey Mitchell added 20 points to her WNBA single-season scoring record as the Indiana Fever beat the Minnesota Lynx 96-77 on Tuesday night. Indiana kept alive its faint hopes of earning the No. 4 seed in the playoffs and home-court advantage in the first round for at least one more day. It also prevented the Lynx from clinching the No. 1 seed, at least until after Golden State plays later Tuesday.
