CHICAGO (AP) — Caitlin Clark scored 37 points and Kelsey Mitchell had 30, helping the Indiana Fever pull away from the Chicago Sky for a 113-90 victory on Sunday night.

Clark made a career-high eight of Indiana's franchise-record 18 3-pointers. She also had 10 assists.

The Fever closed out a 3-2 trip with their third game in four nights. They had dropped two in a row.

Natasha Cloud had 16 points and seven assists for Chicago, which had won three in a row. Azura Stevens added 14 points and eight rebounds.

The Sky were eliminated from the playoff race with the loss and Washington's win on Sunday night.

Indiana played without center Aliyah Boston, who was sidelined by a right leg injury. Boston had 22 points and six assists in Saturday's 109-102 loss at New York.

The Fever used a 13-2 run to open a 71-60 lead in the third quarter. Clark started the spurt with a 3 and Mitchell scored eight straight points before Clark capped the run with a jumper with 4:31 left.

Lexie Hull converted a reverse layup to make it 97-82 with 4:37 left. Hull scored 14 points for the Fever, and Makayla Timpson finished with 12.

It was the first game between the teams since Indiana guard Sophie Cunningham was taken down by DiJonai Carrington on a hard foul in the first quarter of the Fever's 90-86 win on Aug. 8. Cunningham scored three points while playing more than 11 minutes, and Carrington had seven points in 18 minutes for the Sky.

Former NBA center Enes Kanter Freedom attended the game, but he was ejected in the third quarter after he was confronted by Cloud. Freedom and Royce White, another former NBA player, have declared themselves eligible for the WNBA draft, saying they identify as women.
