INDIANAPOLIS -- — Kelsey Mitchell had 33 points on 10-of-14 shooting, Caitlin Clark added 17 points, and the Indiana Fever beat the New York Liberty 108-88 on Saturday night.

Mitchell, who scored 30 Friday night in a 110-107 win over Seattle, has back-to-back 30-point games for the first time in her career and has scored at least 20 points in 10 consecutive games.

Clark was coming off a franchise-record 45 points and 10 assists against Seattle, the first game of 40-plus points and at least 10-plus assists in WNBA history.

The Fever, who trailed by 13, used a 13-3 run late in the second quarter to cut their deficit to 49-45 at halftime. Clark converted a three-point play that gave Indiana its first lead of the game at 50-49 early in the third quarter. The Liberty committed nine of their 15 turnovers as they were outscored 28-12 in the third.

The Liberty (13-12) have lost four games in a row and six of seven overall and have dropped five straight on the road.

Breanna Stewart led New York with 26 points on 10-of-16 shooting. Marine Johannes — who scored 12 points on 4-of-8 shooting from 3-point range, all in the first seven minutes — left the game early in the fourth quarter due to an ankle injury and did not return.

Clark was called for a technical foul in the opening moments after a no-call on a hard screen set by Jonquel Jones that knocked the All-Star guard to the ground.

Leonie Fiebich (foot) and Satou Sabally (concussion protocol) did not play for New York.

The Liberty beat Indiana 83-75 at home in the first of four matchups this season on June 6.
