Clark, a dynamic guard, showcased her offensive prowess with 26 points, 12 assists, and five rebounds. She further etched her name in WNBA history by tying New York Liberty star Sabrina Ionescu for the most 25-point, 10-assist games. Clark's ability to create scoring opportunities for both herself and her teammates proved instrumental in the Fever's comeback.
Boston, a versatile forward, dominated the paint with 30 points, 13 rebounds, and five assists. Her thunderous layup on an assist from Clark with just 18.1 seconds left in the fourth quarter pulled the Fever level at 90, sending the game into overtime.

In the extra period, Clark and Boston combined for 12 points, giving the Fever the decisive edge. Clark's four 3-pointers throughout the game served as a potent weapon against the Dream's defense.
The Dream, led by Rhyne Howard's game-high 36 points, put up a valiant fight but fell short in overtime. Jordin Canada and Tina Charles contributed 17 points apiece, while Allisha Gray chipped in with 15.

The victory propelled the Fever to a 20-17 record, keeping them in contention for a higher playoff seed. The Dream, on the other hand, saw their playoff hopes dwindle as they dropped to 12-23.
Clark and Boston's stellar performances have not only fueled the Fever's success but have also sparked discussions about the Rookie of the Year race. With Clark's exceptional play, the competition against LSU star Angel Reese, who recently announced her season-ending injury, has intensified.
As the WNBA season enters its final stretch, the Indiana Fever will look to capitalize on their recent momentum and secure a strong playoff position. The dynamic duo of Clark and Boston will continue to be at the forefront of their championship aspirations.
